Scindapsus pictus
Satin Pothos
Morphology
About
Scindapsus pictus, described by Hasskarl, is a climbing forest aroid widely distributed across the warm, humid lowland to hill forests of Southeast Asia — rooting along tree trunks and coarse woody supports in shaded to dappled positions with high atmospheric humidity and organic, well-drained substrates. In cultivation it is known almost universally as 'Satin Pothos' — a misnomer that reflects the genus confusion common to trade names rather than any botanical kinship with Epipremnum. The species' defining feature is the irregular silver mottling over softly textured, matte ovate leaves that gives the foliage its characteristic satin sheen, combined with slightly winged petioles. Mature leaves are broader and more assertive than juvenile growth while retaining the matte finish. Pictus is among the most accessible of the climbing aroids, but the species in its full mature adult form — with large, well-silvered blades and proper climbing growth — is a more impressive plant than the small trailing juvenile specimens that typically appear in retail.

Historical auction metrics and live online retailer listings updated weekly.
How prices are calculated: The AA Price uses verified eBay UK completed auction data — we take the trimmed mean (removing the top and bottom 20% of prices) to produce a fair-value guide that excludes outlier sales. When recent auction data is unavailable, the AA Price falls back to the current UK retail average from tracked stockists. Retail prices are scraped from active UK plant shop listings and reflect what you would pay buying directly from a retailer today. All prices are in GBP and updated automatically.
