Good for beginners? Yes. Scindapsus Exotica is low-maintenance, adaptable, and very forgiving. It looks exotic but is nearly as easy to keep as a standard Pothos.

Safe for cats and dogs? Scindapsus pictus is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs, or explore our pet-safe plant collection.

Light needs: Bright indirect light brings out the most vivid silver coverage. It tolerates medium light but the silver variegation becomes less defined. Avoid direct sun and very low light.

Care at a glance: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Enjoys higher humidity but adapts well to normal home conditions. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Wipe leaves occasionally to keep the silver markings gleaming.
