Scindapsus pictus
Commonly known as: Satin pothos
These beautiful vining plants are a great choice for beginners. They have a matte like texture and feel a bit velvety to touch, hence the common name Satin.
Scindapsus pictus is commonly sold in the market as a Satin pothos or Silver philodendron, but it's neither a pothos or a philodendron. They are all cousins and belong to the same genus though.
The one with large heart-shaped leaves is 'Exotica' and the smaller one is 'Argyraeus', although to avoid confusion since most places sell them as Satin pothos we have also decided to retain that name.
