    YES! I have 2 mother plants of this and i made one pup off cuttings and it has 3 new leaves on the pup right now! I LOVE this plant! no misting, not a ton of light needed and I prefer a bushy plant for the look and I trim it up so this is perfect for my home. I fully agree they tell you when they are thirsty, which I appreciate. In my dry montana air I water mine about once every 10 days when needed and use a very airy mix in a small pot with good drainage. I agree it makes the home look so nice. I have it in 3 rooms. the leaves are THICK too when you feel they are not like a pothos but remind me more of a sanseveria leaf

    • @veritorossi
      @veritorossi 5 років тому

      I love it and it kind of feels like a sort of succulent but in a pothos form. I hardly water it and I've never seen it curl.

  • @DanielleonFruit
    @DanielleonFruit 5 років тому +25

    Wow those leaves are huge! Can you do a video on the differences/types of plants that look like this, they all just look so similar it would be nice to have the differences really pointed out. Thanks in advance!

    Said I'd never get this plant and didn't know what all the hype was about, it's not that impressive, etc. Then, I saw one at Walmart today and snatched it up. Great advice. Love your very informative videos.

    We looove our satin pothos. Yours is looking especially healthy! What we like to do for our satin pothos is poke some holes in the soil with a pencil to help aerate the soil. Aerating soil helps to evenly water the soil.

    @annepowell756 4 роки тому +1

    great video Nick. You explain so well about exotica. Have got Silvery ann and Argyreaus but Exotica is a must have as its easier in many ways and packs a punch visually because the leaves are bigger too!

  • @LuisMartinez-mp6yw
    @LuisMartinez-mp6yw 5 років тому

    I have one from a cutting I took from one I had in Florida which was wrapped around the base of my outdoor table. I had it for over 6 years. When I moved back to NY last year in May. I had the cutting in water until it rooted, now almost a year later it’s just beautiful and so heathy.

    Video request: can you please do a how to care for "Pearls and Jade Pothos"?! I purchased one 3 weeks ago, and would like to know more about it... :)

  • @starwen2426
    @starwen2426 5 років тому +4

    This video is SOOOOO helpful!
    I recently purchased one online and kind having a problem with watering - I know it’s supposed to be an easy plant. I try my best not to water my plants overly, usually only do it after the soils dried out. Although the leaves curl quite often... I think I’ll have to water it more. 🤣

    • @eyesclosed3709
      @eyesclosed3709 5 років тому +3

      They also curl fom stress and it can take a few weeks for the plant to readjust, it had very different light and humidity conditions before in the greenhouse and the store plus it had the added stress from shipping so it's now maybe just freaking out a bit, just give it time. When I repotted mine to put it back to the same place it's been in for months before it still took a few weeks for the plant to calm down and stop curling. Definitely don't water it more, watering it only after the soil dried out is the correct way for this plant. I hope that helps 💚

    • @starwen2426
      @starwen2426 5 років тому

      eyes closed Thanks a lot! Seeing the leaves curl makes me stressed as well.😂 Definitely will take your advice and be more patient!

    Exotica is way more structures silver to green center vein. Slightly more expensive than satin or silver pothos. Bigger n thicker leaves too. So gorgeous. I had fun when inwas buying for the old shop i worked in too. My favorite was going to Portland and seeing the plants first hand... Heaven!!!! right???

    So that's what I have! I was getting impatient waiting for my baby Silvery Anne to grow so last week I got a big, bushy, trailing satin pothos. I was awed by how huge the leaves were,. Well now I know why. And also, good to know that they don't grow as fast. It's a good thing it's already bushy from the start, ha.

    Just picked one up at a local nursery, she had ordered about twenty and there was one left........waiting for me lol Much prettier in real life, and the leaves feel really nice, kind of like satin. Leaves were starting to curl so I gave it a good drink and it is sitting in the sink, that is how new it is lol. I looked it up and found your video. How did you get the leaves so big? Mine is still pretty small. Thank you for your videos. Just subscribed!

    I have one and love it! It is healthy and vibrant. I have a question...I propagated some leaf cuttings and potted them. The new leaves that are growing are pale/whitish without much of the green color. Would you say it needs more light? Or a fertilizer with nitrogen or chelated iron???

      @InsubordinationFreak 4 роки тому

      Dunno if you're in Sydney, but they have about 3-5 exoticas at Eden Gardens, Lane Cove right now. They have about 10 leaves on them. $35 bucks. I bought one and am going to combine it soon with the one I already have (paid $60 for three leaves a year ago). It is definitely exotica (thick big leaves), but they have the other two kinds of scindapsus pictus in Eden Gardens too (argyreous and the one that looks like it, but with bigger leaves that is commonly mislabelled as ''exotica"). This was the first time I had seen real exotica in a nursery.

    I bought a clipping of a satin exotica a few months ago and it’s so unhappy! I have it in a pot with a wandering Jew, and the single leaf is turning yellow. It hasn’t grown at all 😢
    I’m wondering if it needs its own pot? Any tips on how I can bring it back?
