Satin Pothos 'Argyraeus'

Bright green, heart shaped foliage with silver patterns upon them. The vining tendrils can be trained up a frame, or left to trail from the sides of your pot or hanging basket. It makes lovely addition to a terrarium too.

Size: 20-100cm x 15-30cm. Easy to prune to your desired size, just pinch at the desired point.

I see the light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. You should be able to read during the day in their position in the room without turning on a light. You will get the best colour in a brightly lit position, if it is too dull you will lose the patterns. You can grow in artificial light – good news for the office – they will need 8-10 hours a day.

Water needs: Water regularly, topping them up as the soil begins to dry out. They will cope with a fair amount of neglect, and you will know you have forgotten about them as they droop and sulk, but will quickly pep up when you apologise and add a good dose of water. More water needed spring/summer and winter requires less care.

If the leaf tips brown, it may be you are watering with cold water, you aren’t watering enough, or you need to add a bit of humidity.

I will Survive: Use a diluted, liquid fertiliser every other month spring/summer. Pinch it back just after a leaf nodule to inspire them to branch out where required. Wipe the leaves regularly with a soft cloth to keep them looking and feeling good. Keep clear of cold draughts or it will sulk.
