★ The Easy Care Tropical Houseplant Collection ★
➔ Anyone else out there like me, who…
➔ ➔ …wants a rare, fancy tropical houseplant that doesn't need to be locked up in a terrarium?
➔ ➔ ➔ …and also has a little bit of a fetish for Scindapsus?
➔ …Well, look no further because this plant retailer is for you!
➔ ➔ Something I wish someone told me 1-2 years ago: most propagated or tissue cultured plants for sale are accustomed to living in a high humidity environment; they have NOT yet been ‘hardened off' and must be acclimatized to a home environment upon purchase. Or you know, they can die. Especially the fancy, tropical not-mass-produced species/cultivars (read: expensive) that were pulled from a jungle like, yesterday.
★ Overview ★
➔ This listing is for a fully established ‘Silver Knight' Scindapsus pictus plant that has been acclimated to, and is actively growing in a home environment.
➔ The ‘Silver Knight,' also known as the ‘Sparkling Borneo,' is super rare Scindapsus pictus cultivar with thick, velvety leaves that are medium-green in color with silver variegation.
➔ To me, the neatest thing about this particular cultivar is how with maturity, the variegation increases to the point where some leaves are almost entirely silver!
★ History / Origin ★
➔ This plant was grown by me from a multi-node / single-leaf cutting from a big Silver Knight plant that I had imported several months ago; I took two cuttings prior to rehabbing the plant and thankfully everyone made it! (See the last listing photo for my new Silver Knight Momma plant post-rehab and acclimatization.
