Scindapsus (Scindapsus)

Scindapsus, also known as "Marble Queen" is a popular houseplant due to its ease of care and air-purifying qualities. Here are some tips for successfully growing Scindapsus - one of the easiest indoor plants to care for.

Light: Scindapsus prefers bright but indirect light, so it's best to place it near a south or east-facing window. Avoid too much direct sunlight, which can cause burning of the leaves.

Temperature: Scindapsus thrives at temperatures between 18-27 degrees Celsius. This means you should keep it in a warm spot and avoid exposing it to cold drafts or excessively hot temperatures.

Soil: Scindapsus doesn't require any special soil, but prefers a light and well-draining mix. You can use ready-made soil for houseplants or make a mix of equal parts perlite and coconut coir.

Watering: When watering Scindapsus, wait for the soil to dry out between waterings. Check if the top layer of soil is dry before watering again. If it's dry, water generously. If it's still moist, wait a bit before watering. Don't let the plant sit in water, as this can cause root rot.

Repotting: Scindapsus grows fast and may require repotting every 1-2 years. When repotting, choose a larger pot to provide enough room for growth. Fill the new pot with fresh soil and gently transfer the plant.
