Epipremnum pictus (commonly known as Satin Pothos, Silver Pothos, or Scindapsus pictus) is a stunning vining plant characterised by velvety, deep green leaves adorned with silvery variegation. This slow-growing tropical plant is native to Southeast Asia and thrives when allowed to climb, producing larger leaves and a more structured appearance when supported by a moss pole.


Care Guide for Epipremnum Pictus on a Moss Pole

1. Light Requirements

  • Prefers bright, indirect light.
  • Can tolerate low to medium light, but growth may slow, and variegation may become less pronounced.
  • Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

2. Temperature & Humidity

  • Ideal temperature range: 18°C – 27°C.
  • Avoid temperatures below 13°C, as cold drafts can stress the plant.
  • Thrives in high humidity (above 50%). Use a humidifier or mist the plant regularly to enhance growth.

3. Potting Mix & Repotting

  • Requires a well-draining, aerated soil mix:
    • 40% potting soil
    • 30% orchid bark
    • 20% perlite
    • 10% coconut coir or sphagnum moss
  • Repot every 2 years or when roots start growing out of the drainage holes.

4. Watering

  • Allow the top 2-4 cm of soil to dry before watering.
  • Water less in winter, ensuring the soil does not remain soggy.
  • Use room-temperature water to prevent shocking the plant.

5. Fertilising

  • Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser (e.g., 10-10-10 or 20-20-20) every 4 weeks in spring and summer.
  • Reduce fertilising in autumn and winter.
  • Occasional application of a calcium or magnesium supplement (such as Epsom salts) can enhance variegation.

Training on a Moss Pole

1. Choosing a Moss Pole

  • Use a sphagnum moss pole or a coconut coir pole to encourage aerial root attachment.
  • Ensure the pole is at least 50 cm tall, allowing the plant to climb.

2. Attaching the Plant

  • Insert the moss pole securely into the pot before planting to prevent disturbing the roots later.
  • Wrap the vines gently around the pole.
  • Use soft plant ties, Velcro strips, or garden twine to hold stems in place without damaging them.

3. Encouraging Root Attachment

  • Mist the moss pole regularly to keep it moist. This encourages aerial roots to attach and absorb water.
  • If roots do not attach naturally, press them gently against the pole or use soft ties to guide them.

4. Pruning & Maintenance

  • Prune leggy growth to encourage fuller foliage.
  • Remove yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy.
  • Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.

Common Problems & Solutions

1. Yellowing Leaves

  • Cause: Overwatering or poor drainage.
  • Solution: Allow soil to dry slightly between waterings and check for proper drainage.

2. Fading or Weak Variegation

  • Cause: Insufficient light.
  • Solution: Move to a brighter spot with indirect sunlight.

3. Leggy Growth (Long Gaps Between Leaves)

  • Cause: Low light or lack of pruning.
  • Solution: Increase light exposure and prune regularly.

4. Root Rot

  • Cause: Overwatering or compacted soil.
  • Solution: Use a well-draining mix and ensure the pot has drainage holes.

5. Pests (Spider Mites, Mealybugs, Aphids)

  • Solution: Wipe leaves with neem oil or insecticidal soap. Regularly check for infestations.

Propagation

  • Take a 10-15 cm stem cutting with at least two leaves.
  • Place the cutting in water, perlite, or moist sphagnum moss.
  • Roots develop in 2-4 weeks, and the cutting can be planted into soil.

Plant Pot Sizes: Pot sizes may vary by approximately +/- 1cm. To ensure a proper fit, we recommend selecting a decorative pot that is 1-2cm larger than the stated plant pot size. For instance, if you purchase a plant in a 17cm pot, a 18 - 19cm decorative pot would be ideal.

Quarantining: All our houseplants are regularly sprayed with a preventative systemic bug treatment. We do our best to ensure a bug free growing environment however sometimes these can unfortunately be missed, as such we always recommend quarantining plants when they first enter your home and checking them upon arrival for bugs.
