Scindapsus treubii ‘Moonlight,’ sometimes sold as a silver pothos, brings a quiet metallic sheen to a bright shelf. Its thick, elongated oval leaves show a satin silver-blue cast over green. This young plant grows slowly at first, then its stems can trail or climb a support as they lengthen.

Care guide

• Light: Give bright indirect or filtered light for healthy growth and silver coloring. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sun.
• Water: Let the upper half of the potting mix dry before watering thoroughly, then drain excess. Avoid soggy roots, especially in cooler months when growth slows.
• Soil: Use a chunky, airy aroid mix with bark and perlite in a container with drainage holes. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately. Amend the blend with bark and perlite to maintain a chunky, airy structure.
• Humidity and temperature: Moderate household humidity is suitable, with some extra humidity helpful for new leaves. Keep warm and away from cold drafts.
• Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, use a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Ready to feed? Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
• Pruning: Trim a long stem above a node to shape the plant and encourage branching; guide stems to trail or climb a support. Remove yellow or damaged leaves with clean scissors.
• Repotting: Check roots every 1–2 years. If crowded, move up one pot size in fresh airy mix and keep the original planting depth.
• Propagation: Root a healthy stem cutting with at least one node in water or lightly moist propagation mix in warm indirect light. Pot once roots are established; a detached leaf without a node cannot form a new vine.
