Satin Pothos (Scindapsus pictus) is a beautiful and relatively easy-to-care-for houseplant, known for its striking, silvery leaves. Here’s how to care for it:
1. Light
- Bright, Indirect Light: Satin pothos thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate low light, its growth will slow, and the variegation on the leaves may become less pronounced. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
2. Watering
- Water When Dry: Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out before watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.
- Watering Schedule: In warmer months, you may need to water more frequently, but in winter, when growth slows, water less often.
3. Humidity
- Moderate to High Humidity: Satin pothos prefers higher humidity, though it can tolerate average indoor humidity. If the air is too dry, consider misting the leaves, using a humidity tray, or placing it near a humidifier.
4. Temperature
- Ideal Range: Keep your plant in temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid placing it in areas with drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
5. Soil
- Well-Draining Potting Mix: Use a light, well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants or one with added perlite or orchid bark will help prevent waterlogging.
6. Fertilizing
- Feed Regularly in Growing Season: During the active growing months (spring and summer), fertilize every 4-6 weeks with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Cut back on feeding in fall and winter when the plant is not actively growing.
7. Pruning
- Encourage Bushiness: Trim back any long vines to encourage bushier growth. You can propagate the cuttings in water or soil to grow new plants.
8. Repotting
- Repotting Frequency: Satin pothos typically needs repotting every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its pot. Choose a pot that is 1-2 inches larger in diameter than the current one.

Beautiful plants I always buy my plants through rooted plant shop. that’s my go to shop
The book is done so well. I can’t imagine the time you spent putting this all together. You’re truly a gifted gardener. Thank so much for this. I’ve always gardened outside the house plants and succulents are new for me. So I really appreciate this book and your website with plants in certain lighting. Thanks for helping me succeed in my plants. I also bought a Micah’s. What beautiful plant. Packed nicely and secure. Thank you I’ll be back for more plants. In a true follower from Kansas.
My Black Velvet Alocasia arrived VERY well packaged, healthy and is already pushing out a new leaf! With all the helpful information listed on the site I was able to place it and care for it exactly as it is needed.
This arrived in great shape and vibrant color. Will be ordering again.
What a cool way to discover new plants! I love it!
I am stunned at the Ring of Fire's color. So pretty. She's looking like she handled the trip well and I can't wait to watch her grow.
Beautiful plant. Shipping was great. Plant was well protected for shipping. Even came with an instruction card on what you should do when the plant you unpacked it.
