In this video I show how to propagate and grow bushier SCINDAPSUS PICTUS ‘ARGYRAEUS’ otherwise known as Philodendron Silver. Another popular variety of SCINDAPSUS PICTUS is ‘EXOTICA’ also known as Satin Pothos. The great thing about common names is that anything goes!!
Light: Give Scindapsus pictus bright, indirect light year-round. Harsh direct sunlight will scorch its leaves, while too-little light will cause the leaves to lose their variegation.
Water: Water thoroughly and allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Keep soil barely moist in winter. Yellow leaves can be symptom of overwatering. Use room-temperature rain water when watering houseplants for best results but tap water will work as well if that's what you've got. Make sure to provide good drainage.
Humidity: Try to maintain 40-50% relative humidity around your plant. Use of a room humidifier can be very beneficial in Winter when indoor air is driest.
Temperature: Average to warm 65-85°F/18-29°C. Don't expose Satin Pothos to temperatures below 60°F/16°C. Cold air will damage the foliage of this tropical plant.
Soil: Use all-purpose well draining houseplant potting mix. I usually use a standard potting mix and add extra perlite or sand.
Fertilizer: Feed monthly a couple of times in Spring and Summer with 20-10-10 water-soluble fertilizer diluted by half.
Propagation: Plants can be propagated in water or soil. Single nodes can be propagated but longer lengths of vine can also be successfully propagated. Cuttings root easily in about a month.

I only have one Pothos that had dang mealy bugs which I’ve never had bug’s on any of my plants, including my orchid’s. Had to throw out the majority of the plant and soil, cuz I didn’t want to deal with them. I did save some cuttings. Cleaned and sterilized them, etc. They are propagating at a “very slo” pace. That plant you have there is beautiful. It is a little confusing between a Pothos and Philodendron. Thank you for your video tutorial it was very helpful!!
I saw that you have orchid’s, I’m going to check out your playlist to see if you good info on them!
You can also just tuck the vines back in the pot and put the nodes facing down on the soil and Bobby pin them and they will grow into the soil. Thats what I do, its easier.
Hey thank you so much! Im about to send mine into a huge (8'×6') vivarium with a ball python. I was wondering why mine was becoming gangly.🌱👨🌾👍
That sounds awesome!! That python is going to be very happy!
