SCINDAPSUS 'EXOTICA'
Large blue green heart-shaped leaves with shimmery silver variegation. Exotica features more of the shimmery silver variegation than other scindapsus pictus varieties (between 60-90% variegation). Scindapsus leaves are thick and velvety, hence their common name, Satin Pothos.
Prolific and easy to care for, this plant will produce long vines that look great hanging or flowing along bookshelves. Can also be trained up a trellis!

Light
Thrives in bright to medium indirect light. Can tolerate low-light conditions but will lose some of its variegation (spots) and have leaves spread further apart. Not suited for direct sun.
Water
Prefers lightly moist soil but not soggy. Water when the top couple of inches of soil becomes dry. Leaves will start to curl when they need water but they can also curl if soil is waterlogged. Do not allow the plant to sit in water. Prefers a slightly more humid environment but normal room humidity is adequate.
Tips
- Rotate often to ensure even growth.
- Add a moss pole as they grow so the aerial roots can attach and the plant will be supported.
- Trim vines to promote a bushier plant.
- Great plants for inside the barthroom!
- Fertilize once a month during the spring and summer.
