Their deep green leaves have an artistic splash of silver across them. There is no wonder why Scindapsus Silver Lady plants, also known as Satin Pothos, are so desirable and special.

Pothos plants are originally from Southeast Asia. In this article you will see photos of one that we have been growing for years. We use it as a stunning centrepiece on our dining table.

We will teach you how to care for a Silver Lady, the soil and humidity it likes, and if it is pet safe.

Scindapsus Silver Lady Care

Like a lot of indoor house plants this plant family originates from the lush jungles and forests. When brought into our homes and offices we should try to recreate similar conditions.

The article below details how to keep a Scindapsus Silver Lady growing strong for years to come.

Scindapsus Silver Lady Light requirements

These plants love the bright indirect sun. Placing then a few feet from any window will provide them with enough sun to grow strong.

The more light they have, the quicker they are likely grow, so dim area of your home will be okay, but don't expect them to grow as fast as in a bright area.

If it's possible, place your Scindapsus Pictus in a warm area with the indirect sun. The warmth will usually do a great job creating humidity. The areas where this plant originates from are warm, so we try to recreate that.

How much water does a Scindapsus Silver Lady need?

It is best to let them dry out between waterings. When you see the soil start to pull away from the edges of the container you can tell that the moisture is almost gone from the soil.

The pot will feel light when you lift it up. Press your finger an inch or so into the soil and check for moisture. If your finger is dry and no soil stuck, then it is time to water.

Summer months we will water more frequently. The plant will be getting much more sun, it will want to grow faster, and it needs more water to do so. In the winter times you will water every week, and sometimes every two weeks.

Soil requirements

A well-draining potting mix from your local supply store will let your Scindapsus Silver Lady grow strong roots. The perlite that the soil comes with is okay, but adding a couple handles to a 6 inch pot will help your plant a bit more.

We also like to fertilize plants with all-natural and easy-to-use fertilizer. It's safe to use every watering as it is diluted.

Humidity requirements

A Silver Lady will do just fine in most environments in Canada. House humidity in Canada is set between 30% and 40%, and in these conditions your plant will learn to adapt.

These are tropical plants though, so people love to put them in bathrooms. The plant will enjoy the extra humidity from your baths and showers.

Moving your plant around the house is something you have to think about, and we have a quick video here.

How to Propagate a Scindapsus Silver Lady

A Scindapsus Silver Lady is easily propagated, and a very straightforward process. It is almost the same for variety of other indoor house plants.

When you propagate it for a long time you will be able to grow one to the size that we have in the photographs. 

Soil Propagation Method

When you are ready to propagate, fill a growers pot (or plastic cup) with a soil of your choice (read about the soil requirements above).

Cut a piece of your Scindapsus Silver Lady just below a node on branch. The node is what puts out the new roots.

Place the cut area in the soil right away, and add water. When sprouting roots, soil has to be kept moist, usually more wet than you'd normally want for this plant. This is because we are trying to stimulate growth in the plant with water.

When the roots grow and take hold of your soil, the Silver Lady will grow into a whole new plant.

Water Propagation Method

Fill a jar or cup with filtered water, preferably not city water from the tap as it contains chlorine; safe for humans, but not baby plants. We like to use small clear jars.

Cut a piece of your Scindapsus Silver Lady just below a node on branch. The node is what puts out new roots.

Place the cut are in the water immediately. After a couple weeks you will see that it has put out roots. You can now transfer your plant to soil.


Pest Control with a Scindapsus Silver Lady

Every plant indoors and out, is susceptible to a pest. The more plants, the more chances that a friendly bug from an open window or your hike will set up shop. Your plant is a healthy plant, and bugs love healthy plants; they live in the nutrient rich soil.

Don't worry! It is all part of owning a plant. We sell the BEST Koppert's pest control products. Koppert's is the same company that organic growers use to keep pests under control. 

As always, feel free to contact us if you need any help in this area. We love to assist and find the right products for you.

Are Scindapsus Silver Lady's Pet Friendly?

A satin pothos, like many other pothos plants, is not a pet friendly plant.

We always advise that plants are kept our of reach of pets and children. Most plants will cause irritation in your pets' mouth. This irritation is enough to deter them from eating again, but keeping them out of reach is always the best idea, as higher levels of ingestion can be dangerous.

Conclusion

A Scindapsus Pictus is an absolutely stunning indoor house plant. With its green leaves and splash of silver, it will draw attention and be perfect in your office or quiet living room.

It is easy to care for, which is also why it makes a great plant for those new to the hobby, or who want more freedom with watering requirements,

Amazing
Format: Hardcover
"You know a poem's good if it makes people feels things" And this novel-in-verse is beyond good. Each word is perfectly chosen to bring you naturally into Selah's world, and her voice is crystal-clear. This was an emotional read for me, and there were so many points that I felt my eyes welling up, sometimes in sympathy and sometimes with joy at her journey. Her friends, teachers, classmates, and family were fully formed as well. I feel like I know and understand them all so well. I want to go chill in Pop's basement. I want to give Selah's Mom a hug and tell her she's doing great. I'd love to be on a team with Mrs. V, and I absolutely adored Selah's close friend Noelle with her smeagoling and dogged determination to stand by her friend. They are people I would have loved to hang out with them. Loved, loved, loved the dragon metaphors. They made Selah's feelings, wants, and desire so clear and relatable. I have a slight obsession with the dragons of Birk, so of course, I gave a little cheer everytime they were mentioned. The FantasyCon scene was lovely, and I loved how it was a turning point on Selah's journey towards finding herself. I always love when the dear nerdly community pulls through. Anyway, I'll probably be throwing this book at everyone's head for a while. It's beautiful, profound, a little cathartic, and important. But also, it's a really enjoyable read! Like, Selah's just a really cool girl. Everything about it was just right, and I feel better for having read it.

Eye Opening!! A great perspective of what is happening in some neurodivergent brain,
Format: Audiobook
What a fantastic book! It gives insight into how neurodivergent people experience the world. I have always heard the phrase "All behavior is communication." I recently listened to an add-on to that phrase: "Distressed behavior communicates a person's distress." I couldn't help but think about this phrase as I read this story. The fatigue of masking is a significant challenge; pretending to be someone you are not is a constant struggle. As a neurodivergent teacher who teaches neurodivergent kids, this story touched my heart, and I highly recommend it to anyone who will listen.

Great book!
Format: Hardcover
I loved the book. It’s a quick read as the novel is written beautifully through poetry. The main character is easy to love and root for. As a teacher who is always advocating for neurodivergent kids, I am often helping parents see the strengths and needs for their child. I love that a book exists where kids can go “That’s me!” and learn to love who they were created to be and find tools that help make the world easier to cope with. The author even gives suggestions and resources in the back of the book. This novel is timely as we are starting to have a greater understanding of the spectrum of Autism. Grandparents and parents are beginning to understand themselves through the diagnosis of their kids/grandkids or even nieces/nephews. Knowing yourself is a powerful thing as Selah (the main character) teaches us.

the BEST BOOK EVER to learn what autism feels like
Format: Hardcover
I have read just about every book ever written (in English) related to autism -- well over 700 of them. This is the best book that communicates what autism feels like, and our life experiences. I'm decades older than the audience the book is intended for; but EVERYONE should read this book to understand we who are different. It also points out several well-known facts: autism has some heredity trails, having just one trusted adult who treats the different child like they are valuable is key to that child being able to cope with the world around them. What surprised me was when an educator with over 25 years of experience in special ed, just did not think the book was that good. That convinced me of the book's unique value: it truly puts the reader in the body and mind of the different child. Some educators cannot do that. The story focuses upon a female -- so not sure how applicable it is to a male different child. I hope some others would test that out. The BEST BOOK EVER to understand what autism feels like. I know as I have been on the autism spectrum since before there was an autism spectrum.
