Silvery Ann and Exotica
Scindapsus prefer bright indirect light (near a window or grow light). Avoid direct sunlight, the leaves can sunburn. Scindapsus Silvery Ann and Exotica will begin to lose their variegation when not given enough light.
Water every 2- 2 ½ weeks, or only when the pot feels light and soil is mostly dry. When your Scindapsus is on the thirsty side, it’s leaves will look wilted and begin to curl. When watering from the top, water until it flows quickly through the holes in the bottom of the plastic pot. If watering with a saucer, discard any water that accumulates. Make sure not to water too often - this is a cause of root rot and can kill your plant!
Humidity isn’t required, but as tropical plants, they love it! Consider putting them in a well lit bathroom or kitchen. (Leaf tips that are browning might indicate your plant wants some humidity, a spa day in your bathroom might be in order!)
As tropical plants, they prefer temperatures between 65-80 degrees. Scindapsus prefer not to be exposed to drafts, so try to keep it away from vents!
Fertilize monthly during the growing season (Spring and Summer) with a well balanced fertilizer. Our favorite is Liqui-Dirt (not sponsored!) which you can use each time you water.
Try to keep out of reach of pets (and kids!) as these plants are mildly toxic if ingested.
