Native habitat and growth pattern
Scindapsus Pictus is native to Southeast Asia, New Guinea, Queensland, and parts of the western Pacific islands. In the wild, it grows as an epiphyte, climbing trees in the rainforest to reach light and moisture. Indoors, this translates into long, cascading vines that can spill beautifully from a shelf, hanging planter, or moss pole.
Size
W12cm pot. Length varies depending on growth. Supplied in a plastic nursery pot.

Scindapsus Pictus care guide
-
Light requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light but also tolerates lower light, though variegation may be less pronounced.

Watering: Water when the top few inches of soil feel dry. Water thoroughly and allow excess to drain, never leaving the roots sitting in water.
-
Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with our vegan, organic plant food to support strong growth and vibrant leaves.
-
Humidity: Tolerates average UK homes but will appreciate occasional misting or being placed in more humid rooms like kitchens or bathrooms.
