Scindapsus Plant Guide & Care Tips

Cultural information should only be used as a guide, and should be to be adapted to suit you. Your physical location; where you grow your plants, how much time you have to devote to their care, and many other factors, will need to be taken into account. Only then can you decide on the cultural methods that best suit you and your plants.

Scindapsus plants are in general very easy to care for and make great houseplants even for beginning gardeners. They do, however, come from sub-tropical origins. They enjoy ample light, quite high humidity and warmer temperatures. They can handle a range of light from low to bright indirect. How quickly and how well the plant grows will depend on the amount of light it  receives . Plenty of bright indirect light or use of plant lamps is the best to cultivate Scindapsusas a houseplant.

The same goes for air humidity:  the more humid the environment in which your Scindapsus grows, the better. Avoid dry air: radiators and air-conditioners don't do  plants any favors.

Tips:

- many Scindapsus species can be grown in hanging pots or baskets, and they will do perfectly well in those. However, if you want the plant to grow larger leaves and/or grow out of its juvenile form, provide it it with surface to climb on. In their natural habitats, Scindapsus grow much larger leaves  and they climb on trees, rocks, sometimes even buildings, if cultivated in urban areas.

- always make sure to research where the species you grow comes from and how it grows in its natural habitat. It's the best way to find out which conditions to try to imitate at home, so that your plants not only survive, but thrive.
