Scindapsus Pictus Exotica

Scindapsus Pictus Exotica doesn't grow much in low light because the silver parts of the leaves don't capture that much light for photosynthesis, so it needs a brighter light exposure than green foliage plants.

To achieve exposure to bright light, Scindapsus Pictus must be placed on east, south, or west-facing windows always filtering the direct sunlight or placing it a few feet inside. Keep your pothos in bright light to make their colors and contrast more vibrant.

Even though variegated or silverish pothos can grow perfectly in north-facing windows, having it placed there won't make the plant have a vibrant color contrast or grow fast because the light that will receive is less

Pothos are plants recommended for beginners because they are easy to take care of thanks to their ability to adapt to almost any environment, not being watering an exception.

Water your Scindapsus Pictus at least once per week as a general rule. You can tell if your pothos needs water if the top 2 inches are dry so you can keep the soil moist or either its leaves start to curl in order to keep moisture.

Avoid killing your pothos by over-watering and root rot by using well-draining soil and using porous pots like terracotta so they can absorb humidity from the soil.

You should reduce the frequency of watering during winter because sunlight is lighter which means that plants receive less light so their photosynthesis is slowed down. This means the water will remain longer in the soil and can cause over-watering and root-rot

Scindapsus Pictus Exotica does well in average room humidity, so you don't really need to inrease the humidity of your place unless you live in a dry weather or you use artificial heat that tends to dry the environment.

As a general rule, pothos love humid spaces and that's why bathrooms perfect for them. To increase the humidity else you can group y our plants and/or use a humidifier.

Even though some people like misting the leaves of the plants in order to increase the humidity, it's not a recommended practice because it can make pests appear or thin leaves to get burned.

Fertilize your Scindapsus Pictus every 2 weeks during the growing season to maximize its growth, but it's not necessary because it's a fast growing plant.

It's always mandatory to either repot the plant every 2 years, or fertilize it, so we can provide new macro and micro nutrients to the soil.

• Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth and gently dry to keep them clean and healthy.

• The leaves tend to face towards the way of light, so rotate your plant on a regular basis.

• If you want to control the shape of the plant, use pruners or scissors with a sharp blade.

• Use a totem to make your pothos climb.

• Scindapsus Pictus Exotica is an ideal plant for a bright bathroom.
