Moonlight Scindapsus: A Must-Have for Any Scindapsus Collector

Expand Your Scindapsus Collection with Moonlight

The Moonlight Scindapsus (Scindapsus treubii 'Moonlight') is a standout in the Scindapsus family. Known for its thick, silver-toned foliage and compact growth habit, this variety adds a unique dimension to any collection. Hailing from the rainforests of Southeast Asia, it’s closely related to popular varieties like Scindapsus pictus ‘Argyraeus,’ Scindapsus pictus ‘Exotica,’ and Scindapsus aureus. The Moonlight’s shimmering leaves and trailing growth make it a prized addition for collectors seeking something special.


What Makes Moonlight Scindapsus Unique?

Unlike the more common Scindapsus pictus with its speckled leaves, Moonlight features a smooth, satin-like finish and a uniform silvery hue. Its slow-growing and compact nature make it ideal for smaller spaces or as a statement piece in a larger collection.

Care Tips for Scindapsus Enthusiasts

Watering Guidelines:

  • Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out before watering.

  • Keep within a temperature range of 65-75°F and avoid cold drafts.

Fertilization:

  • Fertilize monthly in spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Growth Characteristics:

  • Trails up to 3 feet, making it suitable for hanging baskets or climbing structures like moss poles or trellises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping

How do you ship your plants?

We carefully package each plant with love by hand right from our shop in Brooklyn. Extra steps are taken to ensure that every leaf arrives in pristine shape by using polyfill and encapsulating the plant in a protective paper sleeve. The soil is also hydrated before shipping so that the plant has plenty of water for it's travel to your doorstep. We offer several shipping speeds, so please choose the one that you feel comfortable with depending on your location. 

Will my plant look like the one on the website?

Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.

Do you include heat packs with your plants?

We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.

Which heat pack should I choose?

Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!

How long will it take to receive my order?

Standard shipping normally takes 3-5 days. Next day shipping is available on all domestic orders (for an additional charge). International shipping times depend on the products and destination (estimated at checkout).
