Description
Silver satin pothos is a trailing plant with dark-green, heart-shaped leaves splashed with shimmering silver, like satin. Its stems drape softly from a shelf or hanging pot, and it needs only simple care.
Why silver satin pothos?
- Silver-splashed leaves that shimmer in the light.
- Trails from shelves and hanging pots, or can be trained up a support.
- Easy to care for and copes with indoor light.
Where to put it
On a high shelf or in a hanging pot in a living room, bedroom or office, in medium to bright indirect light, away from direct sun and AC draughts.
Care in the Saudi climate
- Light: medium to bright indirect light; in weak light the silver markings fade and growth slows.
- Water: when the top 2–3 cm of soil are dry, never leaving it in standing water. Curling leaves mean it's thirsty.
- Humidity: likes moderate humidity; in dry air-conditioned rooms keep it away from vents.
- Soil and feeding: light, well-drained potting mix, and a light feed in spring and summer.
- Pruning: trim long stems to keep it full.
Caution
Satin pothos is toxic to cats and dogs (ASPCA); hang it or keep it out of pets' reach.
