Hey girl, just letting you know, there is actually SIX varieties (that I’m aware of) of Scindapsus Pictus. • Scindapsus Pictus Jade Satin • Scindapsus Pictus Argyraeus • Scindapsus Pictus Exotica • Scindapsus Pictus Silvery Anne • Scindapsus Pictus Silver Lady • Scindapsus Pictus Silver Silver Splash There may even be more! :) Ps love you, you’re videos are great!

[@ErikaLodes]

Wow that’s a lot!! I had no clue there were that many. I saw that there were different names for the varying amounts of silver on the exotica & Argyraeus. On my exotica, it seems like a regular exotica with some extra silvery leaves in some spots. I didn’t know if people were just naming them differently for the variations of silver or if they were actually different cultivars. But now I know, thank you for informing me! Looks like I will have to be on the hunt for the ones I don’t have 😁

[@mizsammii6117]

Erika Lodes they all look very similar, but completely different at the same time, if that even makes sense haha

[@dannini]

There is also scindapsus treubii that comes in a moonlight (silver) and dark (near black) form. I think Gabriella Plants also has their own version called a silver satin which i think might be the same as the silver splash.

[@MsSpktrout]

Gabriella Plants has a post somewhere on their IG page that has a diagram showing all of the different scindapsus and what they look like. Many of them look so alike it’s difficult to tell them apart. It’s taken me a lonnnnnnnnng time to be able to tell which is which, and that can even be made more difficult when sellers label accidentally label them incorrectly. They’re all beautiful so it’s really not that important imo. A note about the Scindapsus Truebii: the moonlight is easier to care for than the nearly black, but both are a far, far cry from the ease of a pothos. I’m only putting this out there because I see those two becoming more available in the states. I’ve killed numerous of both, and just gave up on the dark form. I have four moonlight right now and they’re some of the most diva plants I own. There are many sellers labeling the Truebii as a Moonlight Pothos and that can be really misleading for anyone expecting it to be an easy going plant. Great video. You’re adorable!!

[@geoffreyivie9885]

NOOOOOO....Seeing this list adds more plants to the list of all the plants I want to collect! Collect all the plants!

[@sayvree]

I wish I was your friend 😂 literally none of my friends enjoy plants like I do and they look at me all crazy when I get roots on my propagations or finding a new plant.

[@lunamaxwell6190]

I know exactly what you mean, same here! I only have my husband to share my love for indoor plants. Luckily for me, he is into succulents and driftwood. He makes these beautiful arrangements using both items.

[@Katiebug4me]

I joined a plant group on Facebook and now I feel so normal and have plant friends that get excited over everything with me! There are a bunch of local plant groups, I highly suggest finding yours. We do trades and plant swaps when we aren't in quaratine. It's fun!

If you think you have it bad, try loving plants AND reptiles.😩 No one thinks my lizards and snake are cute.🥺

[@Tanubasar]

I can relate, even I want a friend who understands my love and feelings that I have towards my plants or any plants for that matter 😁. They say I’m over crazy about them, and yes I’m I can’t deny it, they are my therapy 💚.

[@Noona4kpop]

I love love love my exotica! It sits on a shelf in my entrance by the front door. I told hubby if there’s ever a fire be sure to grab my plant on the way out! 😂 I do love my argyraeus too though. I only had a small one but recently found a hanging pot of it at Lowe’s. I had to get it!

[@ErikaLodes]

You 100% have your priorities straight! Lol The ones at Lowe’s are hard to come by, I’m glad you were able to pick one up 😍

How’s your exotica doing now? I’ve been debating if I should order from Planterina, absolutely love her.

[@jessiwave8]

@@KatNaturalBeauty hi lady it's doing great and growing so much, thanks for asking. I like it because it's simple, not a diva

[@stockinettestitch]

Kat Natural 👋🏼 Hi. Just wanted to add that I bought an Exotica from Planterina too. I got it in January of ‘21 and it’s doing amazingly well (it’s December ‘21 now). It’s gotten so big.

[@annepowell756]

Thanks for a great video on scindapsus. One of my top plants too!

[@laurenelaina6512]

I was actually wondering why my leaves on my scindapsus were growing in so small so thanks for all the tips

[@Deloura]

I love scindapsus! I bought both the exotica and argyraeus 2 days ago. I gave the argyraeus to my mom. I didn't know which was which so thank you for the clarification! 💜

[@aurorasummer4665]

Hey Girl Hey! Oh my gosh I totally agree that Argyraeus was definitely the plant I liked more, until I saw your video that is, seeing them side by side like this is incredible and I now know I can't live without adding both to my collection. lol. Thank you for the wonderful comparison, tips, tricks and all in all the video because it was very informative.

[@vitoneaves2492]

I’d have to say that I am a big fan of the Exotica. I have recently purchased an Exotica and I love how there is more of the silveriness on the leaves.

[@nledesma10]

BEST video on exotica and argyraeus 👏🏻

[@carolfisch9750]

This was great. I had one but didn’t know which type it was....now I know. Will be on the lookout for an exotica version to have as well.

[@jessicagomez6401]

scindapsus are my fav :) thanks for the video Erika! some great tips

[@suzettevega1963]

that plant grew in my garden for no reason at all. I didnt know what was it but it looked too cute to be common undergrowth so i made a little research and i found this video, ty for the info:)

[@chocpch]

I just purchased an argyreus after coming across the last one in the store. It looks better in person and I love it so far. Now that I see how easy it is to propagate and care for, I might break some off to gift to others.

[@JM-zh1vy]

Thank you for sharing tips on scindapsus pictus. I don’t have this plant in our collection and now will reconsider getting one. 💚 👍🌿

They are so gorgeous & easy care! If you find one for a good price you definitely should pick it up :)

[@noraramos3798]

Hi! I’m so glad I found your video!! I am a brand new plant mama, and I bought a HUGE silver satin exotica because it was so gorgeous!! It’s almost 4 feet tall and is growing up a thick wooden post. I thought it was just a pretty pothos, so I was a bit surprised when I got my total at the register😳 At the same time I also bought a money tree, and a monstera deliciousa (think I spelled that wrong) and since these were all really big, I grabbed a cute little plant without realizing it was another exotica; it’s the exact same species as my big one but I didn’t realize that until I got it home lol!! I guess I really love how that specific plant looks? Anyways, I thought I had pothos plants!! Hopefully this gorgeous plant is an easy beginner plant because I just love it! Ok back to your video- hopefully I can learn exactly what my new plant needs so I can keep it looking amazing! New subscriber here! -Nora Edited to say thank you! This was so super helpful!!!

Love the video. I actually have 10 of the Scindapsus variety. Besides the more common ones, I have some more rare like the Silver Hero, Dark Form, Treubii Moonlight, Silver Splash and Lucens. I love the Exotica though with the big fat leaves. Mine is pretty big.

[@ashleymia991]

I am in LOVE with scindapsus lately!! I want them all!!! I still need a exotica, jade satin and trubii (the silver splash is mind blowing in person!)

hello! new to your channel but i love your content. my friend gave me silvery anne for a rehab project because it is extremely neglected. it was a large size pot however it was basically all cuttings instead of a whole plant. super curly leaves and THIN stems lol finally after a few weeks 3 pieces bounced back fully and i’m thinking of propagating the healthy pieces

This video is very informative, atleast now I know which is which with those numerous silver pothos varieties. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you made this video. I bought two different ones from same company an when they arrived it was exact plant! Grrrr The Company even sold a third one under different name an all the plants were the same. 🤪

[@TikkaHorse]

I have both! I couldn't pick, lol :-) I like the speckling on the argyraeus, and the giant leaves of the exotica, so I just love both for different reasons. They have 12'+ vines and have taken over my office. They did get a little leggy this summer, so I am rooting some cuttings to fill them back out.

[@cynthiaporchia2973]

Definitely the Exotica! I have 4 types Exotica is Awesome! Thx

So beautifully scindapsuspictus😍😍😍

[@greenleaves6340]

So true its confusing me too at first🤔 I thought theres 3 kinds🤔 *Exotica- very big leaves, *Silvery Anne(smaller and more silver, uneven pattern than exotica, like the other one you show) and *Argyraeus. But theres more other form, *Silver Splash and *Silver Lady. 🤯 Thanks for this video, I learned a lot for the care of this beautiful plant👍

[@ErikaLodes]

There are just so many versions omg! I don’t even think they look that different from each other 😭😭 Thanks for letting me know the other names, I will definitely be researching & picking them up if I see some in store hehe

[@bluewhale2575]

I was obsessed with the exotica from the moment I first saw one, but now I have an arygyreus (or Silver Anne 🤷‍♀️) and at this point in my life I am satisfied. They just have a very slightly different effect on the vibes or asthetic. And I think my silver Anne fits better with my current environmental asthetic. Someday that will change though, and I think I will crave the exotica again. 🙃

[@LeeDfined]

My Argyreus was labeled "Silvery Ann" and it is a super prolific grower.

[@ErikaLodes]

Ugh yes that’s what we love, fast growing bebes

[@neishagoodson660]

I would have to say Exotica is my favorite but I'm biased because that's the only one of the two that I have! I didn't realize that it was not a pothos plant and got it thinking it would be like my other pothos and it is not. They seem to be cousins but not necessarily the same so that's been fun learning something different. I just brought mines into an office environment because I also have the NE facing window situation at home so I'm hoping to get some more growth from it here with wayyy more light throughout the day!

[@rjtagorio6408]

The local plant seller sold me three pots of silver satin pothos but after watching your video on the Scindapsus Pictus 'Argyraeus' and Scindapsus Pictus 'Exotica' for the nth time, I can identify the plant as a Scindapsus Pictus 'Exotica'.
