Schismatoglottis Scortechinii - Silver Leaves

Silver Leaves
Schismatoglottis Scortechinii

Low key care. High key stunning. A must have for foliage lovers.

The Schismatoglottis Scortechinii (yeah, it’s a mouthful, but it’s worth it) is an underrated gem that delivers serious visual impact.

With bold silver streaks that run like brush strokes across deep green leaves, it brings a cool, elegant vibe to any space no flowers needed.

Its compact growth and shimmering foliage make it perfect for tabletops, shelves or as part of a larger jungle cluster. Think of it as the quiet one in the corner that always gets the compliments.

✨ Why it’s special:

– Silvery variegation that catches the light beautifully
– Compact, bushy growth that stays neat
– Very chill and easy to care for
– Looks high maintenance but isn’t
– Rare but not fussy, a win win

💡 Light: Loves bright, indirect light, can handle lower light too, but variegation may fade slightly

💧 Water: Water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry, it prefers evenly moist conditions, but don’t let it sit soggy

🌱 Humidity: Prefers medium to high humidity, thrives in a bathroom or near a humidifier

🌡️ Temperature: Keep in warm, consistent indoor temperatures, avoid cold drafts

🐾 Pet/Child Safe? Sadly not, it’s toxic if ingested

🌿 Top Tip: If you love the look of Alocasia's but want something easier and a little less dramatic, this is your go to. It gives similar vibes without the diva energy.
