Silver Streak is a remarkable member of the Pothos family, scientifically known as Epipremnum. Its elegant, strap-like leaves are adorned with a subtle hint of silver, creating a captivating shimmer. Although commercially available for many years, this stunning variety remains relatively rare in nurseries and garden centers, enhancing its allure as a unique specimen.
Contrary to the belief that it is difficult to grow, Silver Streak is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. Originally discovered in the late 1800s in the jungles of Australia and New Guinea, this Pothos variety is sure to delight.
Best Locations For Growing Silver Streak Pothos
True Pothos plants trail and are perfect for hanging baskets; they can also be pruned to maintain a well-behaved shape suitable for tabletops or larger houseplant displays. This resilient plant flourishes under artificial lighting, making it ideal for offices, dorms, or any room with limited natural light. Note that ingesting parts of this plant can lead to abdominal discomfort and skin rashes in sensitive individuals.
Silver Streak Pothos Sunlight Requirements
Silver Streak Pothos adapts well to a variety of lighting conditions, from bright indirect light to low-light environments. While it can thrive in less light, be aware that lower lighting may result in smaller and fewer leaves. Avoid placing the plant in south-facing windows or any area with direct sunlight, particularly during midday hours, to prevent leaf scorch.
Silver Streak Pothos Care
To ensure vigorous and healthy roots, use a moisture-retentive yet well-draining potting mix. An all-purpose, peat-free potting mix, enhanced with perlite or horticultural grit at a 1:2 ratio, works well. Regular pruning helps maintain a compact shape, but this epiphytic plant truly enjoys climbing and trailing. Repotting is only necessary when roots emerge from the bottom of the container; the best time to repot is in spring or summer when growth is robust.
Watering Silver Streak Pothos
Maintain consistent moisture during the spring and summer by checking the soil weekly and allowing only the top 2-3 inches of potting mix to dry out. In winter, reduce your watering schedule to every 10-14 days, depending on humidity levels and light exposure. While Pothos tolerates average indoor humidity, it thrives with increased humidity. Use a cool mist humidifier or fine mist sprayer filled with filtered water every few days to enhance humidity around your plants.
Feeding Silver Streak Pothos
Pothos benefit from light feedings 2 to 3 times during the spring and summer months. An all-purpose houseplant formulation will support robust leaf growth, vibrant color, and a strong root system.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
