- Botanical Name: Scindapsus Treubii 'Moonlight'
-
Common Name(s): Sterling Silver, Moonlight
- Description: Sterling Silver Scindapsus, or botanically known as Scindapsus Treubii Moonlight, is one of the ‘it’ plants of 2021. Nurseries and plant collectors would always hunt for this rare houseplant because of its gorgeous thick, dark-green leaves that have a showy silver sheen. Unfortunately, it sells out fast, so grab yours while you still can.

Care and common questions
- Light: Bright, indirect light keeps Scindapsus 'Moonlight' looking its best, but it can tolerate lower indirect light. In lower light, growth may slow and any variegation can look less vibrant. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Let the top 2 inches of soil dry out between waterings — Scindapsus is a little more drought-tolerant than true pothos and dislikes staying wet. Empty any saucer so the roots don't sit in water.
- Humidity: Comfortable in normal household humidity; it appreciates a little extra but doesn't need it.
- Temperature: Typical room temperatures (roughly 65–85°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and heating or AC vents.
- Soil: A well-draining houseplant potting mix in a pot with a drainage hole.
- Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter.
- Pruning: Trim the vines anytime to keep growth full and bushy — the cuttings root easily in water.
- Care tip: If the vines get leggy or the color looks dull, move it to a brighter indirect spot.
How often should I water Scindapsus 'Moonlight'?
Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. It prefers to dry out a little between waterings rather than stay soggy.
What kind of light does Scindapsus 'Moonlight' need?
Bright, indirect light keeps Scindapsus 'Moonlight' looking its best, but it can tolerate lower indirect light. In lower light, growth may slow and any variegation can look less vibrant.
Is Scindapsus 'Moonlight' pet safe?
No. Scindapsus 'Moonlight' is considered toxic to cats and dogs if chewed, so keep it out of reach of pets.
Why is my Scindapsus 'Moonlight' getting leggy or losing color?
Long gaps between leaves and dull color usually mean too little light — move it to a brighter indirect spot and pinch back long vines to keep it full. If leaves are yellowing as well, check the mix: wet means water less; dry means water more evenly.
