Scindapsus Treubii Dark Form

Scindapsus Treubii Dark Form, often simply referred to as Scindapsus ‘Dark Form,’ is a highly sought-after houseplant known for its stunning, almost mystical foliage. This rare variety of Scindapsus Treubii boasts deep green, almost black leaves that have a remarkable, velvety texture and a subtle, reflective sheen. The leaves are thick and heart-shaped, contributing to the plant’s lush, dense appearance. Its striking coloration and ease of care make it a popular choice for collectors and indoor gardeners looking to add a touch of elegance and drama to their plant collection.

Bright, indirect light is ideal. It can tolerate medium light, but growth will be slower. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the dark, glossy leaves.

Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil feel dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Overwatering can lead to yellow leaves and root rot.

Prefers medium to high humidity, ideally around 50–70%. It can adapt to normal indoor humidity, but higher humidity promotes healthier growth and better-looking leaves.

Feed

Liquid fertiliser can be applied during the growing season, once a month or so should be sufficient.

Height & Growth Rate

Slow to moderate growth. It grows more slowly than pothos but can trail or climb when supported with a pole or trellis.

Not pet friendly. Scindapsus treubii ‘Dark Form’ is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, so keep it out of reach of pets.
