silver satin pothos

Scindapsus pictus “Silvery Ann” is a  new cultivar that resembles “Argyraeus” in leaf size but displays irregular, large splashes of silvery variegation on its leaves. This silvery type of variegation is what is known as blister variegation. Unlike the variegation in other plants such as Pothos or Monstera, blister variegation is caused by the epidermis and lower layer of the leaf separating causing air pockets to form. The silvery affect we see on these leaves is actually light reflecting off of these air pockets.
