Scindapsus 'Perlata-umbra' care

Scindapsus 'Perlata-umbra' is a forgiving choice for most rooms, developing an upright clump within its first year.

Position it in morning sun with afternoon shade and rotate the pot monthly for even growth. Water when the top third of the mix is dry; the fastest way to lose one is a saucer left full.

Keep it at a pebble tray in heated rooms; pot it in a free-draining cactus-leaning mix and refresh the top layer each spring. New leaves emerge paler and darken over their first fortnight.
