The silver satin of Asia
Often mistaken for a Pothos, the Scindapsus Pictus differs with its matte, velvety-textured leaves, dotted with silver markings that catch the light.
An easy, forgiving vine, it climbs a moss pole or trails from a shelf, its leaves growing larger as it matures.
"The Scindapsus dresses each leaf in a veil of silver."
