The Scindapsus treubii 'Dark Form' is a popular tropical vine known for its thick, glossy, deep green leaves that can look almost black.
Key Plant Features
- Appearance: Smooth, waxy, pointed leaves with a dark, rich hue and no silver sheen (unlike the related 'Moonlight' variety).
- Growth: A slow-to-moderate trailing or climbing vine that looks great in hanging baskets or trained up a moss pole.
Care Guide
- Light: Bright, indirect light. Avoid harsh, direct sun which can burn the leaves, though it tolerates lower light with slower growth.
- Watering: Allow the top 3–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil to dry out completely before watering again. It hates sitting in soggy soil.
- Soil: An airy, chunky, well-draining aroid mix (containing perlite, orchid bark, and peat/coir).
- Temperature & Humidity: Prefers warm rooms between 18–30°C (64–86°F) and thrives in humidity above 60%, though it adjusts well to normal home conditions.
