Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeus Satin Pothos Trailing Plant 25cm
Scindapsus pictus 'Argyraeus' is a beautiful tropical vine with matte green foliage that's splashed with creamy silver variegation. Often called the “Satin Pothos” for its oval heart-shaped leaves which exhibit a soft sheen, it's a really delicate and ornate looking plant. Definitely one to add some class to a room or terrarium.

Feed: Apply a weak general purpose fertiliser during the summer.
Height and Growth Rate: Moderate to slow growing. Trails will grow to 3m.
