Scindapsus ‘Tattoo’ – Dark Textured Collector Aroid

Key Characteristics
Artistic Variegation: Features dark green, matte foliage heavily dotted and marbled with shimmery silver. The pattern is more detailed and “ink-like” than the standard ‘Argyraeus’ or ‘Exotica’ varieties.
Foliage Texture: The leaves have a thick, satin-like or velvety texture typical of the Scindapsus genus. They are generally resilient and slightly leathery to the touch.
Growth Habit: It is a climbing or trailing vine that looks stunning in hanging baskets or on a moss pole. When allowed to climb, the leaves may eventually “shingle” (grow flat against the surface).
Metallic Sheen: Under the right lighting, the silver markings have a metallic finish that catches the light, giving the plant a sophisticated, high-end look.

Quick Care Guide
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. This is critical for maintaining the vivid silver “tattoo” patterns; low light can cause the variegation to fade and the plant to become leggy.
Water: Water when the top 2cm to 1 inch of soil is dry. Like most Scindapsus, the leaves will curl inward to tell you the plant is thirsty.
Soil: Requires a well-draining aroid mix (e.g., potting soil with perlite and orchid bark) to prevent root rot, as they are sensitive to wet, soggy soil.
Humidity: Prefers higher humidity (60–75%), but is adaptable to average home levels. Higher humidity typically encourages larger leaf growth.
Safety: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals
