Scindapsus weirdness Hey all! This is very strange to me so I thought Iād see what you all thought! š I thought my satin pothos was doing really well + she has some beautiful new growth. However, over the weekend (seemingly overnight), a previously beautiful leaf turned very mushy. I upon further investigation the surrounding leaves looked almost as if they were wet and when held up to the light I could see browning. So I cut back to what looks to be healthy š¤ however, that cut has been slowly excretingļæ¼ clear liquid since. I thought it would stop eventually, but itās been 12hrs and the liquid is still coming out. I am stumped by it all! This is my first scindapsus so I wasnāt sure if the excretion was normal - as some plants do when you make a cut, but even so hours later still seems odd to me. I always moisture meter before I water to make sure sheās dried out around top 2ā and that the deeper soil isnāt waterlogged. š¤·āāļø (I should have taken a pic of the mushy leaf too sorry, but here is the sap(?), strange almost wet looking scratch on marks on the back and the browning of the leaf I spotted and have since removed) Any experience, insight or speculation is welcome! 𤪠#scindapsuspictusexotica #satinpothos #help

Slight browning Hi all! I recently got this scindapsus pictus from a local nursery and the pot was filled with many cuttings. I noticed one leaf turning yellow, so I cut it from the pot, and am noticing some of the tips of the leaves turning brown - while the plant is still showing awesome new growth, Iām a very new plant mom and would love any advice on avoiding browning if Iām doing anything wrong!

Help!! Idk what my plant is doing this. I donāt water it too often. Idk why some of the leaves are yellowing and drying out. :( what should I do?!?
-
What going on with my plant! I received this plant in the post and it arrived all curled up soil was moist (so not a sign of needing water) and a few damaged leaves, that I now have removed.. Iāve also taken the cuttings out of the pot and cleaned the roots to check for root rot but Iām unsure. If anyone can help I would be great full!

Mold?? On top What do I do about this mold (or at least I think it is) I put cinnamon ontop when I first noticed the issue awhile ago but it didnāt fix the issue, I looked at the roots and they didnāt look rotten. I always water the plant out of its pot (just in the nursery pot) and the pot has drainage holes #SilverSatinPothos

New growth dying? Every time this guy starts new growth, it dies before it can really actually grow. What's wrong?

Brown spots? #SilverSatinPothos I recently got this little silver satin pothos and I adore it! It has developed some brown spots on the underside of one leaf and some on the top of another š it might be totally fine, but just in case before anything happens to it does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!! (No noticeable pests. Sitting about a foot away from a north facing open window. Does have a fan blowing near it, but not on it)

I found this random plant shop this weekend and got some cool pots and a new plant! In addition to that, Iāve now added #SilverSatinPothos to my #wishlistplant list! They had a huge one that was beautiful and I fell in love š If only they had smaller ones or I had enough space for that big guy⦠š®āšØ #Pots #coolfinds #GoldfishPlant #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

š¶ š š¶ Toxicity
Greg does not have confirmed data on this plantās toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, itās always best to consult a medical professional.

šØ Humidity
Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeus doesnāt require additional humidity. Plants absorb most water through their root system rather than their leaves, so the best way to provide humidity for your plants is through watering the soil.
šŖ“ Soil
Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeus does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
š© Fertilizer
Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeus grows very slowly and doesnāt require added fertilizer. Replacing your plantās potting soil once a year should provide them with more than enough nutrition. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
š Native Region
Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeus is native to Southeast Asia to Oceania.
š± Propagation
Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeus can be propagated by the stem method. To propagate:
- Make a cut just above the node. The node is the break in the stem where the leaf emerges.
- To get the cutting to root, you can either:
- Place the cutting in water until roots emerge and are ~2ā long and then transplant into well-draining soil, or
- Place the cutting directly into well-draining soil and water when dry.
š§ Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
