Native habitat and growth pattern
Scindapsus Pictus is native to Southeast Asia, New Guinea, Queensland, and parts of the western Pacific islands. In the wild, it grows as an epiphyte, climbing trees in the rainforest to reach light and moisture. Indoors, this translates into long, cascading vines that can spill beautifully from a shelf, hanging planter, or moss pole.

Scindapsus Pictus care guide

• Light requirements: Thrives in bright, indirect light but also tolerates lower light, though variegation may be less pronounced.
