Scindapsus Tricolor Silver Hanging Basket 15cm

🌿 Hanging Scindapsus 'Tricolor Silver' Care Guide

Scindapsus 'Tricolor Silver' is all about the foliage, with silvery markings that catch the light across its leaves. Grown in a hanging planter, its trailing stems can gradually create a lovely cascade. It appreciates good light to maintain its markings, alongside a careful watering routine.

☀️ Light

Provide bright, indirect light to support healthy growth and attractive silver markings.

Avoid harsh direct afternoon sunshine.

Lower light levels can slow growth and reduce the contrast in the foliage.

💧 Water

Let the top few centimetres of the potting mix dry before watering.

Water thoroughly and allow excess to drain.

Reduce watering during winter, when growth is slower.

🌫️ Humidity

Appreciates moderate to high humidity.

Average household humidity is often manageable.

Good airflow is important, especially when the plant is hanging in a corner.

🍽️ Feeding

Feed every 3–4 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertiliser.

Reduce feeding in colder, darker months.

Avoid overfeeding, which can cause root stress.

🌱 Quick Tips

A hanging pot or elevated shelf shows off its trailing habit.

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix.

Check the top of the soil rather than relying on a watering schedule.

Keep away from pets, as Scindapsus is toxic if chewed.

💡 Big Plant Lad Wisdom

Silver foliage and trailing stems are a very persuasive combination. This is one of those plants that starts as a little pot on a shelf and gradually claims a much bigger space than you originally planned. 🌿✨
