Scindapsus treubii ‘Dark Form’ is pure moody minimalism — thick, glossy leaves in deep green that can look almost black in the right light. It’s sleek, sculptural, and a little bit mysterious… the kind of plant that makes everything around it look more expensive. And for the collectors: this is the rarer form of Scindapsus treubii, sought after for its deeper colouring and bold, dramatic finish. It stays compact and tidy while it’s young, then turns into a slow-and-steady climber as it matures. Give it something to lean on, keep the light bright, and let it do its thing. Position Keep in a bright well-lit area or provide additional light. Avoid heaters and draughty positions. Temperature Temperatures above 20c will speed up growth, between 15 and 20c growth will be slow and plants can be pruned to keep compact. Long periods below 12c may cause plants to rot; dead leaves should be removed. Water Water well if kept in pots but sparingly in terrariums, potting mix should be allowed to almost dry between waterings. Keep on the dry side in winter. Fertiliser Weak dose regularly in warmer months. Only fertilise if you would like the plant to grow. Less fertiliser will keep plants shorter and more compact. Repotting Only when plant is well advanced in pot or mid-spring.
