Description Image Info Sustainability

Scindapsus pictus 'Argyraeus' is a particularly elegant variety of the popular silver vine. Originally from the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, this plant captivates with its velvety, silver-green speckled leaves and graceful growth habit. Thanks to its easy care requirements, it is the ideal houseplant for beginners, offices, or modern living spaces with a stylish ambiance.

Characteristics:

The 'Argyraeus' variety is characterized by smaller, dark green leaves with fine silver spots and a subtle silvery edge. The leaf surface appears almost velvety. Its delicate, trailing or climbing shoots make it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or trellises. The elegant growth and the soft interplay of colors in the leaves add a calm, tropical touch to any room.

Care instructions:

Light: Bright to partially shaded location, no direct midday sun
Water: Water moderately, allowing the top layer of substrate to dry out between waterings
Humidity: Average to high, occasional misting is appreciated
Fertilizer: In spring and summer, 1-2 times per month with a diluted houseplant fertilizer
Temperature: Optimal at 18-25 °C, not below 15 °C

Note: Very easy to care for and robust. Can be easily propagated by stem or tip cuttings. Ideal for plant walls or as a "green waterfall" in hanging containers.

Our greenhouses are equipped with modern energy screens and double glazing to efficiently save on heating costs. Additionally, we collect rainwater over the entire roof area of 9,000 square meters and use only this water to irrigate all our crops. We collect the rainwater in underground tanks with a total volume of 600,000 liters.

Since 2007, we have been heating our entire operation with a fully automated 850 kW wood chip heating system and a 100,000-liter buffer storage tank. Environmentally friendly and CO2-neutral. Only to support during very cold winter days and nights is a conventional oil heating system available.

Since 2014, the heating has been supported by a solar thermal system with an annual yield of about 20 megawatt-hours.

In 2020, we installed a photovoltaic system with 30 kW peak and have been producing more green electricity per year than our entire operation requires.

Since 2021, we use exclusively pots for our self-produced plants that are not only 100% recyclable but are also entirely made from recycled pots. To this end, we collect all used pots that arise in our operation and have them picked up in big bags by our pot supplier Göttinger. There, the pots are cleaned and processed in a water-free recycling facility into new pots that come back to us.
