Scindapsus pictus ‘Jade Satin’, commonly known as Jade Scindapsus, is a stunning and easy-to-care-for tropical houseplant favored for its elegant, heart-shaped leaves with a distinctive satin-like finish. The medium to dark green foliage is accented with subtle, creamy white variegation and silvery veining, creating a sophisticated, jade-green appearance that adds lush texture and color to any indoor space. This slow-growing vine can both trail and climb, reaching up to 10 feet in length under optimal conditions, making it ideal for hanging baskets or moss pole supports in home or office settings.

Growing Jade Scindapsus

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant leaf coloration and variegation. It tolerates moderate shade but may lose variegation in very low light. Avoid direct sunlight that can scorch leaves.

Soil: Thrives in well-draining, organic-rich potting mix. A succulent or indoor plant mix amended with perlite or coco coir ensures optimal drainage.

Water: Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between watering. Overwatering can cause root rot, while underwatering causes leaf curling or browning tips.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to typical household humidity levels. Misting or humidity trays help in drier environments.

Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 65°F and 85°F (18°C–29°C). Protect from drafts and cold temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.

Maintenance: Trim leggy or damaged stems to encourage bushier growth. Can be trained to climb moss poles or trail from hanging pots for display versatility.

Toxicity: Contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if ingested by pets or children; keep out of reach.
