Pothos Silvery Ann (4")

Pothos Silvery Ann

Scindapsus pictus 'Silvery Ann'

Care Difficulty
Easy. A beautiful trailing houseplant that is well suited for beginners and experienced plant owners alike.

Light Requirements
Bright, indirect light. Bright conditions help maintain the striking silver variegation. It tolerates medium light, but growth may slow and the silver markings may become less pronounced. Avoid direct afternoon sun.

Water Requirements
Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry before watering. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain away. Avoid letting the soil remain consistently wet.

Humidity
Prefers moderate to high humidity (40 to 70%) but adapts well to average household conditions.

Pet Safety
Not pet safe. Contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if chewed by cats, dogs, or people. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Growth Speed
Moderate. Produces trailing vines throughout the growing season.

Expected Mature Size

• Vines: 3 to 6 feet indoors
• Spread: 2 to 3 feet

Pot Size
Repot every 2 to 3 years or when roots become crowded. Use a well-draining indoor potting mix and a pot with drainage holes.

Where it Grows Best
Indoors in temperatures between 65 and 85°F (18 to 29°C). It looks beautiful in hanging baskets, on shelves, or trained to climb a moss pole or trellis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Silvery Ann a true Pothos?
Despite its common name, Silvery Ann is actually a Scindapsus, not a true Epipremnum pothos. It has similar care requirements and is often grouped with pothos because of its trailing growth habit.

What makes Silvery Ann different from Satin Pothos?
Silvery Ann has larger patches of silver that often cover much of each leaf, giving it a brighter, more metallic appearance than other Scindapsus pictus varieties.

Can it climb or trail?
Yes. It naturally trails from hanging baskets but will also climb a moss pole or trellis, often producing larger leaves over time.

How often should I fertilize it?
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced water-soluble houseplant fertilizer at half strength. Reduce or stop fertilizing during winter.

Can I propagate Silvery Ann?
Yes. Stem cuttings with at least one node root easily in water or moist potting mix, making propagation simple.

Why are my leaves curling or drooping?
Curling or drooping leaves are usually a sign the plant needs water. If the soil is already wet, overwatering or root rot may be the cause.
