About

Scindapsus officinalis is a climbing aroid native to the tropical forests of the Indian Subcontinent and Indo-China, where it grows in seasonally dry to humid forest settings climbing up trunks. It is characterized by robust rooting stems with visible nodes and leathery, entire leaves that are ovate to elliptic-ovate. The blades have a clear midrib and a sturdy texture, showing a natural scandent habit with aerial roots. It also produces axillary inflorescences with a pale white spadix.
