Scindapsus trebulii ‘Dark Form’

Scindapsus treubii ‘Dark Form’

Scindapsus treubii ‘Dark Form’ is a handsome, understated aroid grown for its thick, almost leathery foliage. The elongated leaves mature to a rich, deep green that can appear nearly black in lower light, with a subtle satin sheen that gives the plant a beautifully refined look.

This Scindapsus is a natural climber and looks especially impressive when given a moss pole, plank, or other support. As it climbs and matures, the foliage becomes larger and more substantial. It is slower growing than many common pothos and Scindapsus varieties, but its sturdy leaves and dark coloration make it well worth the patience.

Care Highlights

• Light: Medium to bright indirect light. Brighter indirect light generally encourages stronger, more compact growth.
• Water: Allow the upper portion of the potting mix to dry between waterings. Avoid consistently wet soil.
• Soil: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix with plenty of aeration.
• Humidity: Comfortable in average household humidity but appreciates higher humidity.
• Growth: Moderate to slow-growing and naturally climbing. A support will encourage larger, more mature leaves.
• Color: Mature foliage ranges from deep forest green to nearly black depending on growing conditions and lighting.
• Pet safety: Scindapsus contains calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets and small children.
