Am I killing it already? #ScindapsusMoonlight I’ve had this guy for about a month. Soil was very saturated and dense, so I emptied the Costa Farms self watering pot reservoir and pulled the wick from the nursery pot. Let it hang out under a grow a light at Ppfd 70 for a couple weeks, then switched to an orchid pot (I like to check roots) with a mix of MG cactus and pumice. Watered with spring water (plus low concentration of super thrive at 1/4 tsp / gallon) thoroughly until the water ran freely, let it drain, and placed it back under the grow light. These marks began the next day, so I reflexively moved it away from the light for no other reason than it seemed like the thing to do. The spots spread for a few days but seemed to have stopped. That was a couple weeks ago. The soils is very dry and I believe it needs to be watered but I’m scared. Did I overwater? Wrong substrate? Wrong pot? Too much or little light? There is new growth and several babies coming up so not all is bad news.

I just bought it and it looks so sad! #ScindapsusMoonlight I’ve already taken off one left that went yellow. Just repotted it and fertilized this week. It’s just a baby! Help me, help her!

I need information on my plant...I don't know if it's getting too little sun or if I'm over or underwatering it...I've had it for around a year and a half and I trimmed some of the vine on it about a month ago. #ScindapsusMoonlight

Maneskin LOVES this spot by my computer. I swear he pops out a new leaf each week. There is a grow light above him a ways-- I wondered if it was too far, but it seems to be just right! #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #scindapsusmoonlight #scindapsus #growlights #jesssjungle #theamigos

I went to one of my very favorite local stores, bought this super awesome hand made pot and this #ScindapsusMoonlight! The cashier asked me if I wanted them to pot it for me because if you buy a plant and a pot, they'll pot it up for free! I was planning on putting this guy, who I named Maneskin (Danish for Moonlight), in this pot anyway so of course I said yes! They even had a nice chunky soil mix! ✨ 💚 Plant shop is called KC Blooms in Liberty, Missouri.💚 Adding onto this post, I thought I would start a new hashtag called #localplantstorefinds because this plant inspired me to have a hashtag to show off what you have found locally or from a small business in person! Plants, pots, anything planty from an in person store. 😜 Feel free to use the hashtag! #scindapsus #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #newplants #theamigos #jesssjungle #plantlove #handmadepots #ceramicpotsrock #localplantstorefinds #freshleaffriday #greggers #greggang #newgrowth #plantmafia

Do Scindapsus treubii ‘Moonlight’ grow into clusters? I know it can be grown both as a climber and hanging plant. But some pictures online led me to believe it grows as kind of a cluster-like structure. Mine is in a 4” pot, very ready for a repot. Can anyone tell me more about its growing habits? PS: I’m not thinking about a pole for this one. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #ScindapsusMoonlight #GregGang #Greggers

Help pls In August I accidentally left this poor plant in my hot car. It has survived but I’m not sure how to get it back to optimal health. The dark green leaves are no longer dark green :(

This is my first scindapsus. So I’m constantly learning. So far so good. I had to repot because he was growing mushrooms (didn’t know that was and indoor plant thing). But care is fairly easy. Bright indirect light, water regularly, give a turn once in a while. We’ve already got a vine growing and I can’t wait for more.

Pictures don’t really do this plant justice, tbh. Very pretty and almost shiny in person.
