Silver-spotted philodendron

A charming indoor plant for a houseplant lover of any level, the silver-spotted philodendron makes a beautiful splash of greenery to any space. Each leaf is vastly unique with silver and green hues that feature a shimmery sheen. This fast grower is easy to keep alive and requires very little maintenance. The only thing difficult about this plant is its name– getting technical, this plant is botanically known as Scindapsus Pictus ‘Exotica’. Contrary to its common names, the Silver Satin Pothos and Philodendron Silver, it is actually not a true Pothos or Philodendron. While the three may share the same Aroid family, this plant is of the Scindapsus genus.

Its scientific name refers to the natural habit of climbing rocks and trees. Varieties of silver philodendron exhibit different levels of silvery-white spots. Some types have entirely white leaves.
