| Yep, Scindapsus pictus. Common names: Silver Philodendron. Satin Pothos. |
|
| Mine does well in filtered light. I let the soil get pretty dry between watering. Seems to be sensitive to over watering, much like Epipremnum aureum (Pothos). |

| Scindapsus is more closely related to Monstera and Epipremnum. It is not a type of Philodendron despite this common name. It is from Asia and Philos are from Central and South America. Keep it in a well draining mix or you can grow it in water, and don't let it dry, always just a little damp but not soaked. Like Epipremnum, you can let it hang or climb. The leaves should grow bigger if it is climbing. They will grow in bright indirect light to some direct sun for a short part of the day, full sun all day may be a bit too much for them. |
