Scindapsus is grown for satin-textured, often silver-patterned foliage, distinct from the glossier leaves of Epipremnum it's frequently confused with in the trade. Scindapsus pictus and its named silver forms, and S. treubii's plain and 'Moonlight' colour lines, account for most of the genus in circulation.

They're separate genera within Araceae; Scindapsus leaves have a distinctive matte, satin-textured surface with structural silver patterning, while Epipremnum (pothos) leaves are glossier with pigment-based variegation.
Chimeric variegated forms (Jade Satin Variegated, Snake Scale Tricolor, Moonlight Albo) must be propagated from a cutting taken at a visibly variegated node; a cutting from a reverted green section grows plain, which limits how fast true-to-type stock can be produced.
