🌿 Money Plant Satin (Scindapsus pictus)

A beautiful, trailing or cascading plant with heart-shaped leaves that feature silver variegation, giving it a shimmering, satin-like appearance. It’s an excellent plant for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a decorative element in any indoor space.

🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect light.

• Tolerates: Low to medium light. In lower light conditions, the variegation may become less pronounced, and growth may slow.

• Avoid: Direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves and diminish their glossy appearance.

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out between waterings.

• Frequency: Water once a week in the warmer months, but reduce watering during winter when the plant is dormant.

• Important: Be cautious not to overwater, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Well-draining potting mix. A standard indoor potting mix with some added perlite or sand for drainage works well.

• Pot: Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating at the roots, which can lead to rot.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: During the growing season (spring through summer), feed once a month with a diluted, balanced fertilizer.

• Avoid: Fertilizing during winter when the plant’s growth slows down.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Trim any long or leggy vines to encourage bushier growth. You can also propagate the cuttings to grow more plants.

• Cleaning: Dust the leaves with a soft cloth to maintain their shiny appearance and remove any dust that might block sunlight.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but will adapt to average indoor humidity. Consider misting the leaves occasionally if the air is dry.

• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F). Avoid exposure to temperatures below 15°C (59°F) to prevent damage.
