Ongoing Care
Like many vining plants in the Areaceae family, Scindapsus pictus is happy to be pruned, and cuttings will root willingly.
Trim stems when they reach a length you're happy with. Allow the cuttings to heal for 24 hours then pot on or plant back into the same pot to make the plant bushier. Repot the plant when roots emerge from the bottom of the pot.
Light
Keep away from too much direct sun which can scorch the leaves. It will tolerate some shade, but the silvered variegation may fade. Bright indirect like a north or east facing window, or slightly set back from a south or west facing window, is ideal.
Water & Humidity
Keep compost moist but never soggy.
Temperature
Keep above 15ºC year round.
Difficulty
Like many Areceae, Scindapsus pictus is very easy to care for. It tolerates some missed waterings well, and copes will with dry indoor air (though will appreciate humidity if you can provide it).

Contains calcium oxalate crystals which can irritate skin. Keep well out of the react of pets and children.
