🌿 Scindapsus ‘Black Mamba’ – Dark, Dangerous, and Downright Stunning
Sleek, shadowy, and ultra-rare — Scindapsus ‘Black Mamba’ is a true standout in the world of trailing aroids. With deep charcoal to near-black foliage and a subtle satin sheen, each leaf has a stealthy elegance that makes it feel more like a luxury item than a houseplant.
The leaves are thicker and more defined than your typical scindapsus, with a bold presence that intensifies as it vines or climbs. This one’s not just a collector’s piece — it’s a statement.
Quick Care Tips:
💧 Water: Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry out between waterings — avoid soggy roots.
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light keeps the dark tones rich; too little light can dull the colour.
🌫 Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity (50%+).
🌡 Temps: Warm, stable temps preferred — keep above 15°C.
NPG Tip:
Want larger, more dramatic leaves? Train your Black Mamba up a moss pole or totem. The climbing habit encourages stronger growth and shows off that dark foliage to full effect. Think jungle vibes — but make it moody. 🌿🖤
