Care Instructions for Scindapsus Pictus 'Silvery Ann'

1. Light
   This plant thrives in bright, indirect light, but it can also tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. A spot near a window with filtered light is ideal for optimal growth.
   
2. Watering
   Water the Scindapsus Pictus 'Silvery Ann' when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure that the plant's pot has good drainage. During the winter months, reduce watering, as the plant's growth slows down.

   This plant prefers temperatures between 18°C and 24°C (65°F and 75°F) and appreciates moderate to high humidity levels. While it can tolerate dry air, it will thrive with occasional misting or placement near a humidifier.
   
4. Fertilizing
   Feed the Silvery Ann once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant's growth naturally slows.
   
5. Pruning
   Prune back any leggy or overgrown vines to maintain the plant's shape and encourage bushier growth. You can also propagate the cuttings by placing them in water to grow new plants.
