Scindapsus Rubicon
Scindapsus Rubicon
Scindapsus Rubicon is a striking cultivar within the Scindapsus treubii "Moonlight" lineage, known for its deep, velvety foliage: a rich dark green to nearly black base often highlighted with subtle reddish or maroon undertones.
Care tip: Give this cultivar bright indirect light to keep its dark coloration rich and well-defined -- too little light can dull the reddish undertones that make Rubicon distinctive.
Each heart-shaped leaf has an almost iridescent sheen, adding bold texture and depth to a collection. Give it well-draining soil, moderate but consistent watering, and avoid letting it sit wet.
A dramatic, dark-toned Scindapsus for collectors who want the moody depth of Treubii with an extra reddish dimension.
