Satin Pothos ‘Exotica’ (Scindapsus pictus ‘Exotica’) is a tropical trailing houseplant known for its large, velvety green leaves covered in striking silver variegation. Easy to grow and adaptable indoors, this beautiful Scindapsus can trail from shelves and hanging planters or climb a moss pole or trellis.
Although commonly called Satin Pothos, Scindapsus pictus is actually a Scindapsus rather than a true pothos.
What You’ll Receive
• One healthy Satin Pothos ‘Exotica’ in a 4-inch nursery pot
• Fully rooted and shipped in soil
• Carefully selected for health, fullness, and proper moisture before shipping
Plants are selected from the current batch shown in the product photos and video.
Because every plant is a living organism, natural variations in size, fullness, leaf pattern, and silver variegation are normal.
Why We Ship Rooted in Soil
We ship our plants rooted in their nursery pots rather than bare root whenever possible.
Keeping established roots in soil helps:
• Reduce transplant shock
• Protect the root system during shipping
• Minimize additional stress during acclimation
When your Satin Pothos arrives, it can focus on adjusting to its new environment rather than recovering from immediate repotting.
Satin Pothos ‘Exotica’ Care
Light:
Bright indirect light is ideal for healthy growth and beautiful silver variegation.
Satin Pothos can tolerate lower-light conditions, although growth may become slower and less full. Avoid prolonged harsh afternoon sun.
Water:
Allow the top 2–3 inches of soil to dry before watering thoroughly.
Avoid keeping the potting mix constantly wet, as consistently saturated soil can stress the roots.
Soil:
Use an airy, well-draining houseplant potting mix. Ingredients such as perlite and orchid bark can improve drainage and root aeration.
Humidity:
Prefers moderate humidity but generally adapts well to average indoor household conditions.
Temperature:
Ideal growing temperatures are approximately 65–85°F.
Protect from cold temperatures and frost.
Pet Safety: Not pet safe.
Satin Pothos contains insoluble calcium oxalates and should be kept out of reach of cats, dogs, and small children.
Trailing or Climbing Growth
Satin Pothos ‘Exotica’ naturally develops long vines covered in large, silver-patterned leaves.
Allow the vines to cascade from a shelf or hanging planter for a beautiful trailing houseplant, or provide a moss pole or trellis and allow the plant to climb.
Carefully Packaged for Shipping
Every plant is carefully secured before shipping to help minimize movement during transit.
Depending on the plant and its size, we may use protective paper, support materials, or corrugated inserts for additional stability and protection.
Cold Weather Shipping
For orders traveling through freezing temperatures, we highly recommend adding a 96-hour heat pack.
Plants shipped through freezing conditions without appropriate cold-weather protection may experience cold damage.
Please Note
• Every plant is naturally unique.
• Size, fullness, leaf shape, and silver variegation may vary.
• Product photos and video show the current batch from which plants are selected.
• Plants are shipped fully rooted in soil.

Product Questions
Do you accept returns or replacements?
Answer: We do not accept returns or send replacement plants. If your plant arrives significantly damaged, email emeraldhouseplants@gmail.com within 24 hours of the USPS tracking status changing to “Delivered.” Include your order number and photos of the plant and packaging. We review each claim individually and may offer a partial refund or, when the circumstances warrant it, a full refund of the affected plant’s price. A full refund is not automatic. [Read our full Return & Refund Policy.]
Will my plant look exactly like the photos and video?
Answer: You’ll receive the listed variety and pot size, selected from our current plants, but each plant varies in fullness, color, and variegation. Some listings include a clearly labeled mature-plant photo to show how the plant may look as it grows; it does not show the size you’ll receive.
When available, the batch video gives you the best look at the plants currently being selected for orders. We date these videos when possible, but plants continue to grow, so yours may be larger or look a little different by the time it ships. If a listing has no batch video, email emeraldhouseplants@gmail.com before ordering to request an updated look.
Shipping Questions
When will my order ship?
I usually ship within 2 business days, but please allow up to 5 business days for processing. Weekends and U.S. federal holidays do not count as business days. You’ll receive tracking when your order ships. If shipping is temporarily paused, the next shipping date will be posted on the website. [Read our Shipping Policy.]
How will my plant(s) ship?
Your plant ships rooted in soil in its nursery pot. We secure it inside a corrugated shipping box to reduce movement during transit.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Answer: Unbox it promptly and check the plant and soil. If soil spilled but the plant is intact, gently return it to the pot. Check the soil before watering, and place the plant in light appropriate for its species. Give it time to adjust before repotting or fertilizing; repot when the plant needs it and is actively growing, rather than by a fixed season.
A little leaf damage can happen during shipping. If your plant arrives significantly damaged, email emeraldhouseplants@gmail.com within 24 hours of the USPS “Delivered” scan with your order number and photos of the plant and packaging.
