About Scindapsus treubii 'Sterling Silver'
Scindapsus treubii 'Sterling Silver' is a more heavily silvered selection than the standard 'Moonlight' form already catalogued, carrying an almost uniform pewter-silver sheen across the thick, leathery leaf rather than Moonlight's cream-white marbling. The effect reads as a solid metallic colour-form rather than a variegation break, giving the plant a cool, monochrome presence distinct from every other treubii selection in circulation. It shares the same easy climbing habit and forgiving care profile as the species, and its uniform silver tone draws collectors who already own the more widely grown Moonlight and Dark Form selections.

Before You Buy
Shared checklist for Scindapsus treubii and its cultivated forms
- 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

Well-draining mix: 40% perlite, 40% potting compost, 20% orchid bark.
Water when the top 3–4 cm is dry. These are generally forgiving and will tolerate slight drought better than overwatering.
50–70% preferred. Most varieties in this group are more adaptable to typical indoor conditions than true aroids.
Balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every 2 weeks in spring and summer. Monthly in winter.
Every 12–18 months when root-bound. These vining plants grow quickly and may need annual repotting in peak years.
Common Problems
Yellowing leaves
Overwatering or too little light
Allow to dry more between waterings; move to a brighter position
Loss of variegation (for variegated forms)
Insufficient light causing reversion to green
Move to a brighter position; variegated leaves need more light to maintain their pattern
Root rot
Overwatering or compacted substrate
Repot into fresh well-draining substrate; reduce watering frequency
