A dark beauty is this Scindapsus rarity, which owes its nickname to its black-green coloring and the nubby structure of its leaves. Especially lovers of dark plant species will enjoy this striking eye-catcher. It unfolds its full splendor if you provide it with climbing aids on which it can clamber up.

Ben's tips on plant care:
- We recommend you to cultivate the cutting in moist sphagnum moss.
- Location/Light Requirements: partial shade to light, avoid direct sunlight.
- Substrate: Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil, special soil
- Temperature: optimal at 27° C (day), 18° C (night)
- Watering: keep substrate moist and water when the top layer of substrate begins to dry, using lukewarm water with little lime, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: needs relatively high humidity, spray regularly (but leaves should be allowed to dry afterwards!) or place in bathroom.
- Nutrient addition: in spring/summer moderately every 2-4 weeks with diluted organ. Fertilize moderately with diluted organic fertilizer.
- Should be cut back occasionally if it is to remain bushy.
