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.

Let customers speak for us
from 53 reviewsThis was my first time ordering and I absolutely love my wishlist plant. I will be returning to order more. The plant was securely packaged with lots of care and arrived in perfect condition. This actually arrived a day sooner than expected which is amazing. I loved being able to see the plant I ordered on live before ordering. The lives are amazing too.

Always the best selections monthly, for my plant crew! Thank you!

This was my first time ordering a plant online, and I would definitely do it again!

I had to wait until today to offer my review because my shipment didn’t come until today. The plants(3) were well secure in the shipping box. Great idea to tape all the plants to the box so they won’t shift. The plants themselves were well wrapped for their safety. The plants arrived in good shape.

Such a healthy, robust specimen. The color is gorgeous, a peach with pink and orange hues! The owner is a delight.

My new Money Tree was delivered in perfect condition! Very grateful for all the advice. Thank you, Melanie!

This is my favorite place to shop for my plants! I absolutely love the ease of ordering and delivery.

My plants are incredibly healthy! The owner is a delightful person and goes above and beyond for their customers.

The palm is a great addition to my collection. So grateful that Melanie has pet-friendly options. I have a new and very curious kitty! Love the delivery service too!

Customer service and knowledgeability of the plants is 10/10
Very beautiful plant. This plant exceeded my expectations. It is a bit larger than I anticipated. That is a very positive thing. Came to me very well cared for. I was pleased with my purchase.
