With cascading vines and heart-shaped leaves adorned with striking silver variegation, Scindapsus pictus ‘Silvery Anne’ is a standout in any plant collection. Known for its unique splashes of silver concentrated on new growth, this low-maintenance houseplant is perfect for hanging pots, climbing poles, or simply cascading from a high perch. Its shimmering foliage pairs beautifully with other houseplants and thrives even in less-than-ideal lighting conditions. You will receive one plant, chosen for its beautiful silvery variegation.

Scientific Name
Scindapsus pictus ‘Silvery Anne’ (Latin: pictus means “painted,” referencing the silvery patterns; Scindapsus refers to a four-stringed musical instrument)

Initially classified as part of the Epipremnum genus but later reclassified into Scindapsus due to distinct botanical features.

Common Name(s)
Satin Pothos, Silver Vine, Silvery Anne

Origin
Native to tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia.

Description
The leaves of Scindapsus pictus ‘Silvery Anne’ are known for their soft texture and intense silvery variegation, often covering much of the leaf, especially on new growth. This climbing or trailing plant is versatile, thriving in various indoor settings. While it can tolerate shadier spots, brighter indirect light brings out its silver markings. This variety is slightly more light-sensitive than other Scindapsus pictus types, so avoid harsh direct sun.

Light
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation. It will tolerate lower light but may lose some silver colouring in very shady conditions. If this happens, gradually move it to a brighter spot.

Water
Allow the top third of the soil to dry out between waterings. In shadier locations, allow up to half of the soil to dry. Avoid overwatering, especially in lower light settings, as it can cause root rot.

Humidity
Average indoor humidity is sufficient, but higher humidity will promote faster growth. Avoid placing near radiators or heaters, as they can dry the plant out. Hose down leaves occasionally to remove dust, but do not mist directly, as damp leaves may invite fungal issues.

Soil
Plant in a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix. A blend designed for Monstera or Philodendrons works well for Satin Pothos. Repot every three years in spring or when it outgrows its pot.

Food
Feed every four waters during the growing season (spring and summer), reducing to every six waters in autumn and winter. Use a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength.

Temperature
Thrives in temperatures between 18–30°C but should not be exposed to temperatures below 12°C in winter.

Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small children if ingested.

Sprouts Top Tips
Prune yellow or dying leaves to keep your plant looking its best. ‘Silvery Anne’ benefits from occasional trimming to promote bushier growth. Propagate cuttings in water or soil to grow new plants or fill out the pot.

Extras
The concentrated silver variegation of ‘Silvery Anne’ is most pronounced on new growth. Brighter light enhances its silvery tones, but always avoid direct sun to prevent scorching.

Did You Know?
In its natural habitat, Scindapsus pictus climbs trees with aerial roots, reaching impressive heights and growing leaves much larger than those seen indoors.

 

Important Information

If you have any questions, please check out the below or get in touch via our contact form

We're devoted to sending our customers quality plants with the best service around. Every plant is backed by our 7-day guarantee, so they arrive in good health.

Our team takes extra steps when prepping plants for transportation, but they're still sensitive to changes, so there may be minor cosmetic issues. We always aim to photograph and disclose any flaws before shipping, but a living creature travelling across the country in a box can take a hot minute to adjust to its new life.

If you have any issues within 7 days of receiving your order, holler at our customer support team on our contact form with your order details and some pics of the issue. After the guarantee has expired, though, we can't refund as we can't guarantee care and environmental factors. If you repot the plant during the 7 days, the guarantee is void.

We have been sending plants up and down the country for many year now and we like to think we have our way down to an art.

We protect the plant from falling out of the soil with tissue paper and tape if needed, then we wrap the plant in corrugated cardboard, and sometimes we protect the leaves with extra tissue paper if required. This is then placed into a box and if there is any empty space, we fill this with void fill to stop the plants moving around inside the box. Sometimes we will write a note on your packing slip to water the plant on arrival, so please look out for this. This is due a freshly watered plant going in a box will not only be soggy, but as the plant is in darkness this can sometimes make the plant unhappy when just freshly watered.

If your plant arrives to you unhappy, please send us a photo of the plant and packaging if relevant straight away, so we can advise you.

Online orders are packed and dispatched within a few days. Usually depending on volumes, we aim to get your order dispatched within 1 working day. We have collections from Royal Mail 6 days a week so deliveries tend to be speedy.

Our standard parcel delivery service is £4.99 for Royal Mail Tracked48, you can upgrade to Tracked24 for £2.50.

We do offer a Tracked48 Large Letter option for £2.99, and Tracked24 for £1 extra, but this only applies to products less than 2.5cm thick.

*Deliveries 7 days a week only included Tracked24 parcels.
