Pothos 'Silver Splash'

Botanical Name:

Scindapsus pictus ‘Exotica’

Common Names:

Silver Pothos, Large-Leaf Pothos Picta, Exotica

Plant Description:

Scindapsus pictus ‘Exotica’ is a stunning trailing houseplant known for its large, heart-shaped leaves covered in soft silver splashes that create a satin-like shimmer when exposed to light. This variety is closely related to Scindapsus pictus ‘Argyreus,’ but features broader, less defined silver variegation across each leaf, giving it a bold and elegant appearance.

Native to Thailand and the Philippines, this plant belongs to the Araceae family and grows as a slow-to-moderate trailing vine. Over time, it can grow several feet long, making it a beautiful choice for hanging planters, shelves, or cascading plant displays.

Silver Pothos ‘Exotica’ adapts well to normal indoor environments and is considered a relatively low-maintenance houseplant, making it suitable for beginner plant owners and busy lifestyles. While it tolerates lower light conditions, it develops its best coloration and leaf pattern in bright, indirect light. This plant also benefits from moderate to higher humidity but remains adaptable to typical household conditions.

Its trailing growth habit and unique leaf texture make it a popular choice for customers looking to add movement, texture, and visual interest to indoor plant styling.

At House and Leaf, we recommend Scindapsus pictus ‘Exotica’ for customers seeking an easy-care trailing plant that combines dramatic foliage with beginner-friendly care needs.
