Why would you do that?

^Exactly

Kept in a pot that size (can really see it so it must be tiny) it will grow some but won't be as happy or grow to anywhere near it's potential.

Roots would get all congested and blagh.

I wouldn't keep it in this pot, im just wondering. And its hard to see the pot because there is so many vines and so much foliage. Its a very beautiful plant. This is the 5th pothos of this variety that i have brought. Even though i have some i can help but to buy them when i see them in stores because they are just soooo pretty!

Yes, danny that is what the tag says but any plant that has this kind of leaf shape and vines i just call a pothos.

Scindapsus pictus is also called Satin pothos.

I know, it's technically not a pothos. But I'd still say calling it a pothos isn't fully wrong.

I've had this plant before and I've found it a little finicky. Looks like a nice plant though! Good luck with it

I have one and it's not too finicky IMO. I just set it on a pebble tray because it seems to want humidity and water when the soil feels dry. Mine is getting new leaves and I love how the baby leaves come in. They're bright green and look almost see through. Very pretty plant. I've never seen one that isn't compact.

They seem to do best in good shade and with lots of water/humidity. They like to spread out rather than climb.

I got this yesterday in Lowe's, a 4" Exotic Angel. It was so rootbound that roots were wrapping around pot several times. It's now in a 6" pot. There are 14 separate starts. It was labeled as Philodenron 'Silver'.

yeah, they are also called that too. Sindapsus pictus is the formal name I believe (as stated above) Very nice find, it will make a good plant!

I agree -- great find! Yours too, tlbean. In my experience, Scindapsus hate to be repotted. But, once they stop with the curled-up-leaves sulking, they're as unfussy as they are beautiful.

Scindapsus pictus are a fairly easy plant. Occasionally they'll curl and sulk when something is off. But as soon as that's worked out they virtually immediately come good again and look as though nothing ever happened. They can take a bit of drying out but thrive with a lot of water provided they're well drained. Their roots don't need a deep pot but appreciate a lot of surface area to crawl around.

Mine didn't object at all to its repot back when I first bought it. She was probably happy to get out of that wicked nursery soil and pot!!! I let mine dry out but not to the point of wilting. She's one of my favorites of all my plants because she just chills and grows. No yellow or brown leaves, just pure beauty.

And she has a new leaf getting ready to unfurl!!!

Here's mine.

Note that the other variety is there next to it on the right.

Assleep,

I was just thinking of that other variety today. I had one years ago but they seem to have disappeared from the market. I really prefer them to the spotted ones, I think.

My workplace has that "other" variety and it is so pretty.. I have never seen it for sale.

Mine's that "other one" as well. Didn't realise there were different ones. Will have to keep an eye out when next I get to some nurseries.

From what I've been able to dig up so far,the more common one with the spots is called scindapsus pictus argyraeus. The "other" is known as scindapsus pictus exotica.

Funny as I've only seen SPE in stores lately and not SPA.

Maybe it's a culture thing. Humiditynornlower temperatures. One does better up there and the other does better down here. Makes sense, all that silver would probably burn easily.

That's actually makes a lot of sense. I wonder if the plant trade is really that complicated and dedicated.

Neat

I have one in a 5" pot at the office and one of its vines is getting close to 30 feet long.
