The Scindapsus Treubii Dark Form is an uncommon trailing plant with dark green, almost black foliage.
The Scindapsus has very similar care needs to its cousin the Pothos, but its leaves are smaller, more compact and have have a sturdier, waxy finish.
You can leave its vines to grow long and hang (which looks especially great in a basket up high) or you can train them to climb up a stake, trellis or moss pole.
This houseplant likes indirect light and really doesn’t want to be overwatered, stick to those two rules and you and your Scindapsus will get on just fine!
An easy-care, air-purifying houseplant perfect for beginners.
Care:
Light: Tolerant of medium light to bright indirect light, however too much light can cause brown, crispy tips on the leaves.
Water: Keep the soil relatively moist, water when the top 2/3 of soil dries out. This plant is slightly drought resistant but do try to avoid overwatering. For best results water from underneath with the use of a saucer to reduce the chance of root rot. Reduce watering during winter months.
Food: Feed twice monthly during the growing season but not during winter.
Humidity: High humidity will produce a happier plant but will tolerate a normal household humidity. A low humidity will cause brown, crispy tips on the leaves.
