Scindapsus 'Argentea-borealis' care

Scindapsus 'Argentea-borealis' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing a slow climber within its first year.

Give it bright light with no direct midday sun; leaf colour fades noticeably in darker spots. It prefers to be watered weekly in summer and fortnightly in winter, and it will forgive a missed week far better than a doubled one.

Aim for occasional misting in dry rooms and use a free-draining cactus-leaning mix — roots here want air as much as water. Propagation is straightforward from stem cuttings rooted in water.
