Satin Pothos
Scindapsus Pictus
The plant, by the plant
My shimmer isn't makeup - it's microscopic engineering. I'm the Satin Pothos, and the silvery sheen across my velvet-green leaves comes from tiny air pockets in my leaf cells that scatter light. It's a rainforest-floor trick for making the most of dim light, and it means I literally sparkle in person. Cameras never quite do me justice; influencers hate this one trick.
Technically I'm a Scindapsus, not a true pothos - but I kept the stage name and the famous easy-care manner: low to bright indirect light, water when the topsoil dries, and a bit of neglect only makes me more devoted.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot
- Large - 200mm nursery pot, approx 20-40cm trained on a totem
Pets: shimmer, don't chew - toxic if nibbled.
Drape my satin from an Arden Macrame Hanger and keep the growth silky with Indoor Plant Food.

Care tips
Mostly a low maintenance plant - just be sure not to drown in too much water. Water regularly allowing the soil to dry out in between waterings. Fertilise in warmer months.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
