Key Features:

• Origin: Native to Southeast Asia, like other Scindapsus species, this plant thrives in warm, humid tropical environments.
• Variegation: The mint-colored variegation adds to its visual appeal. This is most vibrant when the plant is exposed to:
  • Temperatures: Warmth above 75°F (24°C).
  • Humidity: Elevated humidity levels around 65% RH or higher.

Growth & Care:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain variegation but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves.
• Watering: Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings, as it dislikes waterlogged roots.
• Soil: Requires a well-draining potting mix, ideally one designed for aroids.
• Fertilization: Monthly feeding with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season supports lush growth.
• Evergreen Nature: As an evergreen aroid, it maintains its foliage year-round with proper care.
