Scindapsus--Devil's Ivy
Type: house plant
Comments: Devil's Ivy is an easily grown trailing plant,
suitable for hanging pots. The leaves are often variegated
with white (Vis. 1) or yellow. Provide medium or bright
light with no direct sunlight. Keep the soil moderately
moist except in winter when it should be run drier.
Fertilize moderately when the plant is actively growing.
Ideal temperatures are 62 to 65 degrees at night and up to
85 degrees during the day. Provide cooler temperatures
during rest periods. Variegated (Vis. 2) types lose their
coloration when grown in insufficient light. The plant
is often confused with trailing types of philodendron.
Propagation: Propagation is by stem cuttings.
