Origin of the Scindapsus Silvery Ann
This silver spotted Scindapsus type originates from the jungles of South-East Asia, Indonesia and the Salomon Islands. The Greek name for the Araceae family is Epipremnum. An appropriate name, as ‘epi’ means ‘on’ and ‘premnon’ means ‘branch’: the plant grows on the tree branches in the tropical rainforests. In its natural habitat, it is a rich source of food for lizards and other reptiles, here it is an air-filtrating plant that also produces oxygen and is not fit for consumption.
