Welcome — this plant comes from the Dr. Plantas nursery. Here’s everything you need to care for it.
Also known as Satin pothos, silver pothos
A trailing plant with thick, soft, heart-shaped leaves splashed with silver. It grows slower than pothos and stays compact and elegant.
It does best in medium to bright indirect light, near a window but out of direct sun, which scorches the silver markings. It tolerates a dimmer corner, but there it grows even slower and puts out smaller leaves.
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry and let it drain well. When it's thirsty the leaves curl slightly inward, then open back up after watering. It would rather stay a little dry than soggy, because its roots rot easily.
Use an airy mix, such as all-purpose potting soil with perlite or coir, in a pot with drainage holes that isn't much bigger than the roots. It looks great trailing from a shelf or basket, and it can also climb a pole, where its leaves grow larger.
It is comfortable between 65 and 86 °F (18–30 °C) with medium to high humidity; the warmer it is, the more it grows. Below 55 °F (13 °C) it stalls and struggles. Keep it out of the air conditioner's draft, which dries the leaf edges.
It loves the local heat and humidity, but not the strong sun. On a porch or terrace keep it in full shade and out of direct rain, because soil that stays soaked for days rots the roots. If you run the air conditioning all day, group it with other plants so it doesn't lack humidity.
