About Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight' Tricolour

A tricolour colour break of Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight', with very few sold listings on record. Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight' Tricolour shares the same underlying form and growth habit as Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight Variegated' (thick, elongated lanceolate leaves on climbing with aerial roots, compact upright when supported growth), with three distinct tones on a single leaf: the moonlight cultivar's own silver-green base, plus cream-white and soft pink sectors.

Before you buy

  • Ensure there is at least one healthy node present; a cutting without a node cannot produce new growth
  • For variegated forms, check that the variegation pattern appears on the newest growth and shows no signs of reversion to green
  • Inspect the underside of leaves for spider mites (fine webbing or stippling) which are common on pothos-family plants
  • Confirm the cutting has visible roots or a healthy node before purchasing, since unrooted cuttings require propagation experience to succeed

Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight' Tricolour care

Substrate
Well-draining mix: 40% perlite, 40% potting compost, 20% orchid bark.
Watering
Water when the top 3–4 cm is dry. These are generally forgiving and will tolerate slight drought better than overwatering.
Humidity
50–70% preferred. Most varieties in this group are more adaptable to typical indoor conditions than true aroids.
Feeding
Balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every 2 weeks in spring and summer. Monthly in winter.
Repotting
Every 12–18 months when root-bound. These vining plants grow quickly and may need annual repotting in peak years.

Common problems

  • Yellowing leaves

    Cause: Overwatering or too little light

    Fix: Allow to dry more between waterings; move to a brighter position

  • Loss of variegation (for variegated forms)

    Cause: Insufficient light causing reversion to green

    Fix: Move to a brighter position; variegated leaves need more light to maintain their pattern

  • Root rot

    Cause: Overwatering or compacted substrate

    Fix: Repot into fresh well-draining substrate; reduce watering frequency
