Scindapsus Care Guide
Scindapsus are waaaaay cooler and expand far beyond just the trailing Scindapsus pictus! One of my favorite ways to see a Scindapsus being grown is when they shingle.
Pretty much all Scindapsus varieties can shingle; growing with their leaves pressing onto a flat piece of wood (or walls/trees in the wild) for support, so they don't just use their aerial roots. Sometimes, bugs lay eggs behind shingled leaves because it protects everything from predators and rain. Cool, right?
------------------------------------
FLOWERS & PROPAGATION:
Scindapsus barely flower indoors, but when they do it's an inflorescence which can be pollinated for seed growth. When pollinated, you can get the seeds out of the berries which are not edible, germinate them on a piece of paper towel then grow them. You can also propagate your Scindapsus as simple as just a cutting with atleast one node, let it root in water or moist moss and these plants thrive on high humidity
------------------------------------
WATERING & SOIL:
Scindapsus plants prefer well-draining soil and should be watered thoroughly, then just let it drip to prevent it sitting in water for too long and getting root rot. Don't be scared if you forget to water for a week, these are pretty resilient plants, but try to water once a week.

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS:
Very simple, the more light the more vibrant leaves, the less light the less vibrant leaves and the less full growth.
Try to not put this plant in direct sunlight for too long, but provide bright-indirect light.
