About this plant
Satin Pothos suits indoor spots with bright, indirect light, tolerates medium light. Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats, dogs and horses, so keep it away from pets.
Satin Pothos is a trailing vine with matte, heart-shaped leaves splashed with silver. It handles medium light and AC well, an easy plant for Dubai shelves and offices.
Satin pothos, Scindapsus pictus, is a climbing aroid from Southeast Asia. Despite the name, it is not a true pothos. Its thick, matte, dark green leaves are heart-shaped and speckled with shimmering silver spots that catch the light. It trails gracefully from pots and can also climb a moss pole.
Indoors in Dubai it is easy to grow. It tolerates medium light and copes with AC-dried air thanks to its thicker leaves, though the silver markings are strongest in bright, indirect light. Keep it away from direct summer sun through glass, which scorches the leaves. Let the top of the soil dry between waterings; curling leaves are a sign it is thirsty.
It works well trailing from shelves, hanging planters and cabinets in living rooms, bedrooms and offices. We offer it from 20–30 cm tabletop plants up to 40–50 cm trailing plants, in nursery, ceramic, decor and coco coir pots.

Care guide for Dubai homes
How to keep Satin Pothos healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright, indirect light; tolerates medium light. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 7–10 days indoors when the top 3 cm of soil is dry; less in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: Chunky, well-draining aroid mix with bark and perlite. Feeding: Balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength every 4–6 weeks from March to October. Common mistake: keeping the soil constantly wet, which rots the roots. Where it works: shelves, hanging planters, cabinets and offices.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
