Scindapsus treubii 'Dark form' (Pothos)

This rare Scindapsus treubii 'Dark form' is a beautiful dark leaved variety. It grows just as fast as a traditional scindapsus but with deep, dark moody almost black leaves. Native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia and from the genus of flowering plants in the Araceae family. A trailing vine that looks gorgeous on a shelf or hanger but can be trained to climb up a moss-pole.

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, however 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.
