With its silver-studded foliage, Scindapsus Pictus is simply adorable. Its heart-shaped leaves with silver highlights match any decor. It is as magnificent hanging down as in a climbing plant arrangement . It is a vigorous plant that adapts to any environment. Indeed, for a plant from a tropical rainforest, it is surprisingly resistant to the dry air of our homes in winter. However, in order to promote its rapid growth and obtain beautiful, 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 water remaining in the saucer and allow the soil to dry completely between waterings.
Attention! Risk of toxicity if swallowed.
