The Scindapsus 'Black Splash' is a very decorative climbing and trailing plant, appreciated for its strikingly contrasted foliage. Its heart-shaped leaves display a dark, almost black green, enhanced with irregular silvery spots and marbling, like luminous splashes on a dark background. For a plant originating from tropical rainforests, it is surprisingly resistant to the dry air of our homes in winter. However, to promote its rapid growth and attractive leaves, it is best to provide it with a humid atmosphere at all times. This plant is very sensitive to excess water, which can cause root rot; avoid letting water remain in the saucer and allow the potting mix to dry between waterings.
Caution! Risk of toxicity if ingested.
