Plant Bio

Scindapsus perakensis

Scindapsus perakensis is a gorgeous species native to areas of Borneo, Sumatra, Malaysia, and Thailand. Though first described in 1893, this gem of a plant hasn’t been widely available except to collectors. When our Plant Hunter found it, he knew he had to give it a try—and happily, it’s tested well, proving to be an easy-growing houseplant in average home conditions!  

This leafy legend thrives in medium to bright light, like a spot about 3 feet away from a good-sized east or west window. Don't worry if your space is a little dimmer, it'll still grow, but just might be a tad slower and show some extra stem (think longer stretches between those beautiful leaves). Keeping your Scindapsus perakensis hydrated is a breeze! Just wait for the top quarter to half of the potting mix to dry out before giving it a drink. Or if you use the self-watering system, just add water as the reservoir empties (but take care never to overfill the reservoir). Average room temperatures and humidity are perfectly fine for this low-maintenance climber, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

Note: This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested.
