I would like to introduce a New Series on Indoor Plants
and hope to come up with 10 Best Indoor Plants for Beginners.It is more less as medium level plant to grow and maintain.
Let me introduce this plant - Scindapsus pictus speciesThe Benefits and Care may be similar to Pothos & Philodendron.
Here picture top :
Satin Pothos - Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica'Characteristics:
Leaves that appears to be large have curls at the edges.Variegation of the silver spots appears to be more fully covered around leaf surface.
Here picture top :
Silver Pothos - Scindapsus pictus 'Argyraeus'
Characteristics:
Leaves appears to be smaller and span out further between leaf nodes.
Variegation of the silver spots appears to be more sparse.
There is some confusion on the botanic classification where its neither pothos or philodendron yet its commonly known as "pothos"
The care & plant growth are very similar with pothos & philodendron.
Based on my experience,
I would consider this one as a medium difficult level in comparison to pothos.
They do tend to grow slower and may easily rot if no proper care is given but once the plant is stable and show its sign of growth, it will spring forth with vigor and robust growth.
Satin Pothos & Silver Pothos do have a silver sheen that appears like florescent reflection when viewed in an angle.
I wouldn't recommend it for beginners especially if you had received a cutting or trying to propagate it. I had many trial and errors with this one and find that a well established full grown plant fair well compared to cuttings for this one.
Yet, if you are open for a challenge and already have the rest of the pothos in your collection and if you are planning to complete that collection - this would be a great accomplishment.
