Scindapsus 'Green on Green'
Proof That Green Never Has to Be Boring
At first glance, it might look subtle. Take a second look and Scindapsus 'Green on Green' reveals why collectors adore it.
Its rich emerald foliage is decorated with intricate patterns of lighter green variegation, creating a beautifully layered effect that shifts as the light catches each leaf. Rather than bold splashes of white or yellow, this plant plays a quieter game, rewarding those who appreciate texture, depth and understated elegance.
Native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, this climbing aroid naturally scrambles up tree trunks, producing larger and more mature foliage as it climbs. Give it a moss pole and you'll soon see why it's become a favourite among collectors looking for something a little different.
