Overview

Relatively large, heart-shaped leaves, which are splashed with sheens of silvery grey, characterise this tropical houseplant. 'Satin Pothos' is easy to grow, and if kept in a bright spot with indirect light, it will reward you with the best leaf colour and variegation. Its compact growth habit makes 'Argyraeus' a beautiful hanging basket plant, specimen for a large terrarium, or trailing pothos for a bookshelf. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. Home care: Water relatively freely when in active growth, making sure the compost dries out in-between, but keep drier in winter. Avoid draughts and mist the leaves regularly with water to increase humidity. Every so often put it under a cold shower to wash off the leaves and pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushier growth. Make sure the winter temperatures stay above 10°C and repot every couple of years.

Care guide

Choose a bright spot out of direct sunlight and maintain a humid atmosphere by daily misting or standing Schlumbergera on a saucer of wettened gravel. The plant needs two resting periods so after it has flowered in late January reduce the watering and move to a cooler room with a temperature of approx 54-59°F (12-15°C). Water sparingly but don't let it dry out. From April to September, increase watering and feed with a liquid houseplant fertiliser, moving the plant to a warmer room with a temperature of around 64-68°F (18-20°C). The flower buds should start to form in mid-September, so reduce the temperature and watering as before for the 2nd resting period. Once the flower buds have developed you again increase the temperature and watering. This should ensure a lovely Christmas floral display. For healthy growth, it is best to repot every year at the end of March using a cactus potting compost or John Innes No 2 with added grit.
