Description: Enhance your indoor garden with the stunning Rare Scindapsus Pictus 'Exotica' cutting, renowned for its large, velvety leaves adorned with striking silver variegation. This cutting includes one segment with 3-4 nodes, providing a perfect opportunity to grow your own Satin Pothos from scratch. Please note that this is a cutting, not a fully rooted plant, and will require propagation.

Propagation Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Cutting:

   • Carefully remove any leaves from the lower nodes of the cutting.
   • Allow the cutting to dry and callous over for a day or two before planting.

2. Choose Your Medium:

   • Fill a small pot with a well-draining soil mix, such as a blend of perlite, peat moss, and orchid bark.
   • Alternatively, you can start the cutting in water by placing it in a clean jar filled with room-temperature water.

3. Planting the Cutting:

   • If using soil, create a small hole in the center and insert the cutting, ensuring the nodes are buried while the leaves remain above the soil.
   • If using water, place the cutting in the jar with the nodes submerged and leaves above the waterline.

4. Provide Optimal Conditions:

   • Position the cutting in a warm, bright location with indirect sunlight.
   • Maintain high humidity around the cutting by using a humidity dome or loosely covering the pot with a plastic bag.

5. Care and Patience:

   • Water the soil lightly, keeping it moist but not soggy.
   • If rooting in water, change the water every few days to prevent stagnation.
   • Be patient; root development can take several weeks to a few months.

Tips:

• Use rooting hormone on the cut ends to encourage faster root development.
• Monitor the cutting for signs of growth, such as new leaves or root emergence.
• Once roots are established, transition the cutting to a pot with a well-draining soil mix.

Add the captivating Scindapsus Pictus 'Exotica' to your plant collection and enjoy the rewarding process of nurturing it from a cutting into a flourishing, vibrant plant. This rare and exquisite Satin Pothos will bring a touch of elegance and natural beauty to any indoor space!
