Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' — broad satin leaves with bold silver splash

Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' is a satin-leaved aroid vine with broad, heart-shaped green leaves washed in large silver patches. The pattern spreads across much of the leaf surface, creating a wide silver wash over the green base.

It grows as a trailing or climbing vine with aerial rootlets. Indoors it usually remains in its juvenile leaf phase, with thick patterned leaves along the stems; flowers and berries are rare under normal indoor conditions.

Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' broad silver foliage

  • Plant type: Tropical evergreen aroid vine.
  • Family: Araceae.
  • Species background: Scindapsus pictus is a wet-tropical climber from SE Bangladesh to western and central Malesia.
  • Leaf shape: Broad, heart-shaped juvenile leaves.
  • Leaf texture: Satin-matte with a muted metallic sheen.
  • Pattern: Large shimmery silver splashes over green leaf tissue.
  • Growth habit: Trailing from pots or climbing with aerial rootlets.

Growth pattern of Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica'

Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' usually keeps its juvenile, entire leaves indoors. Given a support, the vine can climb and attach with aerial rootlets; left unsupported, the stems trail downward from the pot.

The larger leaf surface shows water stress and sun damage quickly, so steady watering and filtered light matter. A chunky mix lets roots breathe between waterings and keeps the heavier leaves supplied through active growth.

Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' care essentials

  • Light: Give bright indirect light; direct sun can burn silver-marked leaf tissue.
  • Watering: Water after the upper part of the mix has dried and empty excess water from the cachepot.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new leaves expand without sticking.
  • Temperature: Keep warm, around 18–29 °C, with stable conditions.
  • Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix with bark, perlite, coco chips or mineral aggregate.
  • Pot choice: A drainage pot is essential; a pole gives aerial roots a surface to grip.
  • Feeding: Use diluted fertilizer during active growth rather than heavy feeding on wet roots.
  • Semi-hydroponics: Mineral substrate can suit established cuttings after transition, with careful reservoir control.
  • Pruning: Cut leggy vines above nodes to encourage branching and propagation.

Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' troubleshooting

  • Yellow leaves: Wet roots and compact substrate are common causes.
  • Curled leaves: Dry roots, heat or root stress can stop leaves from sitting flat.
  • Brown silver patches: Pale patterned areas can scorch in direct sun.
  • Leaf spotting: Stale wet foliage and poor airflow can increase fungal spotting.
  • Pests: Inspect nodes and leaf backs for mites, scale, mealybugs and thrips.

Safety for Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica'

Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets and children, as chewing can irritate the mouth and throat and may cause drooling or vomiting.

Botanical background for Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica'

Scindapsus is a climbing aroid genus whose name is associated with growth on tree trunks. The species name pictus means painted or brightly coloured and refers to the patterned surface of Scindapsus pictus leaves.

Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' hangs with broad silver-splashed leaves and climbs when its aerial rootlets reach a support.

Source Naturals Melatonin Orange Flavored Chewables
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
This product is used for occcasional sleeplessness. The product is made by Source Naturals located in Santa Cruz, CA. It contains 5 mg of melatonin and 338 mcg vitamin B6 (from pyridoxal-5). I ordered this product after viewing a Dr. Oz episode about premenopausal and post menopausal symptoms of sleeplessness. Melatonin is a neurohormone produced by humans by the pineal gland (cone shaped organ of the brain that secretes the hormone melatonin into the bloodstream. It is one of the endocrine glands and is situated beneath the back part of the corpus callosium). It helps the body to ease into a restful sleep. Melatonin is also a potent antioxidant. I purchased Source Naturals' Bio Align product NightRest with melatonin multi nutrient and herb complex, but only tried it while I waited for my melatonin to arrive. When it arrived, I realized I had purchased a similiar product at a cheaper cost than the huge retail whole-food chain. This is an excellent product and it performs exactly as the manufacturers suggest. However, I find that their NightRest works much quicker. I take one tablet at around 7 p.m. and I'm out by 9:30-10 p.m. I get a peaceful nights sleep, and I sleep through the night. I wake rested and ready to start my day. Either product would be super. Order according to your needs.

BEST SLEEP AID EVER!
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
Most nights, I place 1-2 under my tongue, allowing them to dissolve, and fall asleep quickly. Even when I wake up in the middle of the night, I get right back to sleep easily. I usually combine this melatonin with Source Naturals L-Tryptophan too (1-2 at bedtime) with a glass of water, followed by the melatonin under my tongue. GREAT combination for those who have a hard time sleeping at night, or who have a temporary problem that is keeping them awake. Not necessary to use every night, only as needed. The L-Tryptophan can also be taken midday if you are stressed; however, NEVER use either of these products, or this combination of products, if you take prescription antidepressants or sleeping pills. I started using them 20 years ago instead of prescriptions because of the side-effects of drugs....OH, this sublingual melatonin has great flavor too (dissolve this melatonin under the tongue so it delivers directly to the bloodstream) .

Just have to be careful not to take more than one per night or else wake up feeling like have a hangover
Size: 200 Count (Pack of 1)
Definitely works for me. Just have to be careful not to take more than one per night or else wake up feeling like have a hangover. Works great for me but not as well for my stepmother. She has severe insomnia and has been on sleeping medications for years. She tried taking this to go a more natural route but did not even affect her.

surprised!
I actually didn't realize I had ordered "time released" version. I thought these were just normal melatonin. But now that I've tried these, I love them so much better than the regular version! Helps me sleep better through the night. No taste, love this brand of Source Naturals.

The only one I'll use!
As the title says, this is the brand to get!! It's fast-acting, doesn't give me weird dreams like some do, and I never wake up feeling groggy.
