Scindapsus pictus 'silvery ann' (Satin Pothos/ devils ivy)

An easy care climber with aerial roots, this particular variety has matte green leaves with shimmering iridescent silver patches, known as blister variegation (this is where an air pocket is created in the leaf which reflects the sunlight). Great in macrame hangers or perched on a bookcase. The Scindapsus origin is the jungles of South- East Asia, Indonesia and the Soloman Islands. As well as boasting beautiful foliage, the silvery ann is also known for its air purifying properties. Unlike other varieties of satin pothos, the whole leaf of the silvery Ann can turn silver.

Care Difficulty: Moderately easy care needs.

Light requirements: Thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch their leaves. Can tolerate a shadier spot but this can affect the variegation. If your plant receives too little light, it may develop leggy growth with fewer leaves.

Watering: Water when the top two inches of soil feel dry. It's better to underwater your plant than overwater, as too much moisture can lead to root rot. Use a well-draining potting mix with chunky components (such as coarse bark) and ensure the pot has drainage holes. Reduce watering in winter.

Humidity: Will prefer an extra boost of humidity Mist your plant regularly or place it near a humidifier to create the perfect environment.

Toxicity: Toxic to humans and pets

Feeding: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4 waters, it is always advised to follow the instructions on your fertilizer. Reduce feeding in the dormant winter months.

Repotting:Re-pot when it becomes root-bound or outgrows its current pot, typically every 2-3 years. Choose a pot that's one size larger, provide fresh, well-draining soil, and gently transfer your plant, being careful not to damage the roots.
