Pothos Silver Splash overall features

Pothos Silver Splash also known as Scindapsus features cascading vines and stunning foliage.

The charming, hardy houseplant characterizes heart-shaped, light green, silvery variegations. The marvelously-patterned leaves have silver speckles. 

As the texture of leaves resemble satin’s, it’s also rightly named as Satin Pothos. You don’t have to worry on holding one at home as the evergreen tropical plant is not difficult to grow, just like other Pothos species. It is indeed a good choice if you are searching to add greenery and air-purifying item into your desired environment. Even beginners won’t feel uncomfortable looking after Silver Pothos. Here is some easy-care advice to keep it growing happily.

Light Requirements

 

The beautiful plant loves medium to bright, indirect sunlight. So, it shouldn’t be exposed to severe, direct sun rays. Similarly, too little sun would spoil dazzling foliage; the leaves grow pale and silver-gray flecks might disappear.

Place the pot near an east or north-facing window. Over 4 hours of bright light is needed per day.

In inadequate light, the vining Silver Splash Pothos gets leggy. If there isn’t sufficient light in your environment, you can use LED light to supply the essential light.

 

Origin

The origin of Pothos Silver Splash is in southeast Asian countries including Bangladesh, India, Thailand, Java, as well as the Philippines.

In its natural habitat it is able to grow up 10 feet in height or sometimes trail across the rainforests ground. Some might wind up nearby trees in the forest. Indoors it usually grows like a young species and won’t get mature enough to show off large leaves.

 

As the plant is not needy, similar to other Pothos species, you can go on vacation for an entire week with no worries at all. The tolerant plant will be ok till you get back. in spite of this, it will grow much faster if its desirable conditions are supplied.

Watering

Overwatering and underwatering should be avoided at once.  

Try to create a homelike situation in your house so you can see thriving in a short period of time. As a green representative of Tropical territories, it needs loose soil with a good drainage. Never let your plant sit in soggy soil.

Once the top 1 to 3 inches of the soil dries out, it is time to start watering.

Thirsty plant will start drooping; when you see that go for thorough watering and make sure that extra water is entirely drained. You might need to water once or twice a week. In growth season, intensify watering. Watering should be decreased as soon as cold season is around.

One helpful way to determine whether the soil is dry or not is to pick up your pot; if it’s lightweighted, it most probably wants water.

 Proper Soil

Well-draining, high-quality potting mix helps your plant grow favorably. You can enrich the soil with perlite, peat moss, or vermiculite.

The ratio of 1 portion perlite and 2 portions potting mix is usually recommended. This soil will reserve moisture and prevent waterlogging.

If you noticed fast drainage, you might need soil mix enriched with a compost, and little pumice or perlite.

To feed Pothos Silver Splash, you can apply liquid fertilizer biweekly in growth season. You don’t need fertilizing in cold times.

To boost up its growth, you can equally use a diluted fish or seaweed fertilizer solution. Dilute properly to protect from burning.

Humidity and Temperature:

Moist air guarantees your plant’s growth. Scarcity of moisture will result in brown-colored leaves.

Relative humidity is between 40% to 50%. This being said, Pothos Silver Splash appreciates a humidity level of over 50%, which exists in most households.

In dry places, consider tools like a good humidifier to improve growth. In warm places, make sure that humidity level is ok.

Varieties of Pothos normally like temperature at anything between 60° and 90° Fahrenheit. The finest goes from 70° to 75°F.

Keep in mind that temperatures under 50 ° F would be risky. Cold door or window drafts should be fended off.
