Product Description Of Scindapsus Silver Hero

Common Name: Scindapsus Hero, Silver Splash
Botanical Name: Scindapsus treubii ‘Moonlight’
Origin: Southeast Asia

Scindapsus Hero is a beautiful tropical climbing plant prized for its thick, heart-shaped leaves and striking silvery-green foliage. The leaves have a naturally metallic appearance, giving this plant an elegant and sophisticated look that makes it a standout in any indoor plant collection.

A relatively slow-growing and easy-care plant, Scindapsus Hero is perfect for plant lovers looking for something a little different from the usual pothos and philodendrons. It can be grown as a compact tabletop plant or allowed to trail from a shelf or hanging planter.

Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its beautiful silvery foliage and encourage healthy growth. It can tolerate medium light but may grow more slowly. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sunlight.

Water:
Allow the top 3–5 cm of soil to dry out before watering. Water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet, as this can lead to root rot.

Humidity:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity and will appreciate a humid environment. Average household humidity is generally tolerated, provided there is good airflow.

Temperature:
Grows best between 18°C to 28°C. Protect from cold drafts, air conditioning and temperatures below 15°C.

Soil:
Use a chunky, well-draining indoor plant mix that retains some moisture while allowing plenty of airflow around the roots. A mix containing potting mix, perlite and orchid bark works well.

Fertiliser:
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted balanced liquid fertiliser. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter when growth slows.

Pet Friendly:
⚠️ Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.
