With its silver-speckled foliage, Scindapsus Pictus 'Silver Splash' is simply adorable. It looks just as beautiful trailing as it does in a climbing arrangement . It is a vigorous plant that adapts to any environment. In fact, for a plant from a tropical rainforest, it is surprisingly resistant to the dry air of our homes in winter. However, to promote rapid growth and beautiful, attractive leaves, it is best to provide a humid atmosphere at all times. This plant is very sensitive to overwatering, which can cause root rot. Avoid leaving water in the saucer and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
Caution! Risk of toxicity if swallowed.
