Scindapsus Pictus ‘Exotica’ – Silver Variegated Trailing Houseplant

Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' – Velvety Trailing Vines with Bold Silver Splashes

The Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica', often called Satin Pothos 'Exotica', is a stunning tropical vine known for its large, velvety green leaves adorned with bold, silvery markings. The leaves are broader and more dramatically patterned than the classic Satin Pothos, creating a luxe, high-contrast look perfect for plant walls, shelves, or hanging baskets. With its soft texture and easy-care nature, 'Exotica' brings elegance and visual interest to any space.

Perfect for trailing, climbing, or simply stealing the spotlight on its own.

How to Care for Your Scindapsus 'Exotica'

Place your 'Exotica' in bright, filtered light to keep its silver markings vivid and its growth full. Use a chunky, well-draining soil mix and water when the top of the soil feels dry. This plant is sensitive to overwatering, so make sure your pot has drainage holes and never let it sit in standing water.

It thrives in average household humidity but will appreciate higher levels, especially during warmer months. Fertilize once a month during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted fertilizer. Prune as needed to control length or encourage bushier growth — and propagate easily in water or soil.
