Dark, glossy climbing plant from Indonesia with lacquered leaves, compact and easy to care for

Scindapsus treubii 'Dark Form' is a compact climbing plant from Indonesia with dark, glossy leaves that look as if they have been lacquered. The species grows as a hemiepiphytic liana up to 15 meters high in the rainforests of Indonesia.

The leaves are leathery, somewhat succulent, and rubbery. Particularly striking is the deep green, almost black color on the upper side and the strong gloss that makes them look lacquered. The underside is silvery and not glossy.

The internodal spacing is quite short in this species, especially if it is allowed to climb. In this way, when climbing, it truly comes into its own, but it can also be grown as a hanging plant without problems.

Care

Thrives in bright to medium-strong indirect light. Water when the soil has dried out slightly. Well-draining soil with good air circulation. Ideal temperature 18-26 degrees Celsius.

Provide a climbing support such as a moss pole for compact growth and more beautiful leaves, or let it hang freely. Fertilize monthly during the growing season. Buy Scindapsus treubii 'Dark Form' online!
