The Satin Pothos is just as easy to grow as its relative, golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum). Its variegated foliage makes Satin Pothos a beautiful addition to a terrarium. Big, heart-shaped leaves are dark-green and splashed with silvery gray, giving them a satin sheen. Its compact growth habit makes Scindapsus pictus ‘Argyraeus’ a beautiful hanging basket plant.

These beautiful vining plants are a great choice for beginners. They have a matte like texture and feel a bit velvety to touch, hence the common name Satin.

Scindapsus pictus is commonly sold in the market as a Satin pothos or Silver philodendron, but it’s neither a pothos or a philodendron. They are all cousins and belong to the same genus though.

The one with large heart-shaped leaves is ‘Exotica’ and the smaller one is ‘Argyraeus’, although to avoid confusion since most places sell them as Satin pothos we have also decided to retain that name.
