Since its lanceolate leaves are so dark that they appear almost black, this attractive Scindapsus is particularly popular with lovers of dark plants. It doesn't get too big and is therefore also very suitable for smaller apartments. You can either keep them in a hanging basket or let them climb up on climbing aids.
• Delivery: You will receive an offshoot with aerial roots and 2-4 leaves.

Ben's care tips:
• We recommend keeping the cutting in moist sphagnum moss until it has rooted. Then it can be potted in the soil recommended under the point substrate.
• Location/light requirements: partially shaded to bright, avoid direct sunlight.
• Substrate: Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil, special soil
• Temperature: optimal at 27° C (day), 18° C (night)
• Watering: Keep the substrate moist and water when the upper substrate layer begins to dry with lukewarm water that is low in lime, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
• Humidity: requires relatively high humidity, spray regularly (leaves should be allowed to dry afterwards!) or place in the bathroom
• Nutrient addition: moderately every 2-4 weeks in spring/summer with diluted organ. Fertilize moderately with liquid fertilizer
• Should be pruned occasionally if you want it to remain bushy.
