Plant Characteristics
Pothos 'Satin' features heart-shaped leaves that are a deep green color with a distinctive silver variegation that looks painted on. This unique variegation gives the foliage a subtle sheen, making it stand out from other vining plants. The vines can grow quite long, making it a perfect candidate for hanging baskets where its beautiful foliage can cascade down. It also looks great on a shelf, allowing its vines to trail gracefully. It's a relatively fast-growing plant that is highly adaptable to various lighting conditions, making it an excellent choice for almost any room in your home or office.
Care Instructions
- Light: Tolerates low to medium indirect light but thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Water thoroughly when the top two inches of soil feel dry. The plant will let you know it's thirsty when its leaves start to curl slightly. It's better to underwater than to overwater.
- Humidity: Prefers average to high humidity. Misting occasionally or placing it near a humidifier can help the plant thrive, but it's not a requirement.
- Temperature: Room temperature 65-85°F; protect it from cold drafts.
- Soil: Well-draining potting mix. A standard indoor potting soil is usually sufficient.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
