Discover the ethereal beauty of Scindapsus ‘Moonlight’, a stunning variety that seems to glow with an inner silvery light. Often called “Satin Pothos” for its silky, reflective leaves, this gorgeous trailing plant brings sophisticated elegance to any space with its unique silvery-green foliage that shimmers like moonbeams dancing on water.
**Available Size:** 4” plants in landscape pots
Plant Characteristics:
Scindapsus ‘Moonlight’ showcases heart-shaped leaves with a distinctive satin-like finish and silvery-green coloration that appears almost iridescent in the right lighting. The leaves have a subtle metallic sheen that catches and reflects light beautifully, creating an almost luminous effect that gives this variety its celestial name. Unlike its Pothos cousins, Scindapsus leaves have a unique texture - smooth and silky to the touch with a more substantial, thick feel. The trailing vines can grow several feet long, making it perfect for hanging baskets, high shelves, or training up moss poles. As the plant matures, the leaves gradually increase in size and the silvery coloration becomes even more pronounced.
Care Instructions:
- **Light:** Bright, indirect light; good light enhances the silvery coloration
- **Water:** Water when top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry; prefer to dry out slightly between waterings
- **Humidity:** Average household humidity (30-50%); very adaptable to different conditions
- **Temperature:** Room temperature 65-80°F; tolerates normal household temperature fluctuations
- **Soil:** Well-draining potting mix; standard houseplant soil works perfectly
- **Fertilizer:** Monthly feeding during growing season with balanced liquid fertilizer
- **Pruning:** Pinch growing tips to encourage bushier growth; propagates easily in water
Special Notes:
This is one of the most beginner-friendly plants in the Scindapsus family, much more forgiving than many other “silvery” plants. The silvery coloration is stable and won’t fade with proper lighting. It’s an excellent air purifier and grows relatively quickly compared to other specialty foliage plants. The unique satin texture makes it a favorite for plant photography and social media.
Perfect for beginners seeking something special, trailing plant enthusiasts, and anyone wanting low-maintenance elegance with a touch of shimmer. Note: Like other Scindapsus varieties, this plant is toxic to pets and children if ingested.
