Scindapsus treubii ‘Dark Form’ is a rare and sophisticated tropical aroid adored for its velvety, near-black foliage and understated elegance. A member of the Araceae family and native to the humid rainforests of Southeast Asia, this collector’s favourite combines depth, texture, and minimalism in one striking plant.

The leaves are thick, leathery, and deeply glossy, with a dark green hue that often appears almost black in soft light. The smooth surface reflects a subtle metallic sheen, enhancing its luxurious, sculptural appearance. Its growth habit is compact and upright when young, later trailing or climbing as it matures — making it ideal for shelves, hanging planters, or moss poles.

Moody, resilient, and undeniably refined, Scindapsus treubii ‘Dark Form’ embodies modern tropical design — a plant that exudes quiet luxury and timeless appeal.


Scindapsus treubii ‘Dark Form’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light, but its dark leaves tolerate lower light levels better than most tropicals. However, for steady growth and leaf size, provide consistent filtered brightness. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves or cause dull patches on their glossy surface.

Watering

Allow the top 3–4 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away. Overwatering is the most common issue — Scindapsus species prefer to dry slightly before being watered again. In winter, reduce watering frequency.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth between 20–30 °C; avoid temperatures below 15 °C.

  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50–80%). While tolerant of average indoor conditions, higher humidity encourages lush growth and prevents crisp leaf edges. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier for best results.

Soil and Potting

Use a well-draining, airy mix, such as compost blended with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. This provides excellent airflow and prevents the roots from staying too wet. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the substrate and allow for steady root expansion.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser or an aroid-specific formula. Over-fertilising can lead to salt build-up and leaf damage, so feed sparingly and consistently. Suspend feeding during the cooler months.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune lightly to manage size or remove any older or damaged leaves. The plant can be trained to climb a moss pole or trellis for larger leaves or left to trail gracefully from a high planter. Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust and accentuate their deep, glossy sheen.

Growth and Maturity

A slow to moderate grower, Scindapsus treubii ‘Dark Form’ typically reaches 60–90 cm in length indoors. Its compact growth habit makes it perfect for small spaces, while mature climbing plants develop larger, more elongated leaves with a leathery texture. Over time, it creates a rich, shadowy display that contrasts beautifully against lighter plants.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Faded colour: Insufficient light.

  • Brown edges: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally mealybugs or thrips; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

Native to the tropical rainforests of Borneo and Malaysia, Scindapsus treubii is an epiphytic vine that naturally climbs trees under the shaded forest canopy. The ‘Dark Form’ cultivar is celebrated for its velvety black-green leaves and elegant simplicity, making it a staple in rare plant collections and modern interior design.

In cultivation, this variety is valued for its resilience, tolerance to varying light levels, and ability to thrive with minimal attention. Like other Scindapsus species, it also functions as a natural air purifier, helping to remove airborne toxins while bringing a calming, moody elegance to indoor environments.

Styling Tip

Display Scindapsus treubii ‘Dark Form’ in a matte black, charcoal, or stone-toned planter to enhance its dark, moody elegance. It pairs beautifully with lighter tropicals such as Philodendron ‘Birkin’ or silvery species like Scindapsus pictus ‘Silver Hero’. For a sophisticated contrast, let it climb a moss pole or trail from a hanging basket where light can gently play across its glossy, nearly black leaves — a living accent of quiet luxury and contemporary tropical design.

    Excellent Budget Gaming Monitor
    Size: 24.5" 200Hz/FHD
    I’m very impressed with this monitor for the price. The 200Hz refresh rate makes gameplay feel incredibly smooth, especially in fast-paced games. The picture quality is sharp, colors look good, and the screen size is perfect for both gaming and everyday use.

    Better off saving your money for a quality brand like Acer or Samsung
    Size: 24"/FHD/240Hz
    If you were looking for a decent gaming monitor with a good refresh rate, you better keep looking. Honestly, I wanted to really like this thing. For $120, it ticked off a lot of great features for me: at least 120Hz refresh rate, 1080p quality, and some nifty reticule marks for FPS gamers like myself. And for a year I had no problems with it until a few days ago. The ability to control input's, power, and toggle the reticule features all lie on one singular button behind the monitor. Here lie's the issue; if that power button starts messing up, there is no way to control or turn on/off the monitor. This is exactly what happened on my unit; the power button/control went out and the monitor was basically useless. I contacted Koorui support via email, and all I got was a vague "Did you confirm the button is really broken" response. Replied back that I did, and the manufacturer has ghosted me. Basically, I HIGHLY advise you just save up a few $80 or $100 dollars and get a decent entry level gaming monitor. By going cheap with this one, you will just end up probably wearing out the power/control button and be left with an expensive paperweight. If you are DIY repair savvy, I am sure that replacing the power/control button probably is not that big of a deal. In which case, go right ahead as it is a decent monitor for the price. But with that said, having this thing break leaves you with basically no options to get it fixed and good luck trying to get a hold of Koorui for support. Sadly, this is a growing trend on buying electronic's here on amazon from smaller brand sellers. *Update* So as of writing this review, I got Koorui to reach out to me. They would agree to replace the monitor for free, but I would have to front the shipping costs. They have their operations out in California, so if you live on the east coast then expect to pay around $40-50 for shipping for the monitor all the way out there (nearly half the monitor's value). I told Koorui that this just did not make any financial sense and they offered to refund me 50% of the monitor's value. However, they have yet to specify how they will send the refund, so I am unsure of whether I will see my partial refund when this is all said and done. So know that if you do proceed to get this monitor and need to return it past the 30 day return window covered by Amazon. TLDR: just save up an extra $50-100 for a big brand gaming monitor and save yourself the headache of dealing with all of this.

    I feel fully enveloped in the work
    Size: 34"/WQHD/1000R/HDR400
    Changed my work at home experience. I feel fully enveloped in the work. I don't use it for gaming so can't comment on that. But for laptop heavy work days, this is a great experience.

    Great color. Great Price. Easy to install
    Display Size: 24 Inches, Size: SE2426H, Style: AMD Freesync
    I just needed a replacement monitor for daily desk use and wasn't interested in gaming, etc. so this fit my needs beautifully. The color is great and the picture is crisp. It was a breeze to install. Great, everyday monitor and super size for home office desks where you won't need a theatre sized monitor.
