Scindapsus treubii ‘Moonlight’ is compared to Scindapsus pictus a really rare plant to get. Scindapsus treubii ‘Moonlight’ has nicely dark green coloured heart-shaped leaves that also have silver glow on them. Scindapsus treubii is native to the tropics of South-East Asia. The leaves of Scindapsus treubii ‘Moonlight’ can grow relatively large, some grow up to 60cm in length.

The plant is really tolerant to different humidity levels, but as a tropical plant it of course prefers a higher humidity level. In order to keep up the humidity level around the plant you can mist it multiple times a week with dilute water. Scindapsus treubii ‘Moonlight’ prefers to be placed in a spot with indirect sunlight, naturally it grows in the understorey of the rainforests so it is tolerant to low light levels. Araflora uses a well-draining soil mixture with a sufficient water retention capacity.
