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.

    My lab loves t
    Color: Orange & Blue Fumbler, Size: 3 x 8.5 x 9 inches (1 Pack)
    This toy is my labs favorite toy. She’s obsessed and we were happy to find a toy she loves that can stay inside with us. The problem is how easily she tears it apart. We have to buy her a new one every month because when she bites into it it breaks down the foam inside, and from there she shreds the roping it’s covered in. We try to stop her, but with how often we play with it it’s inevitable. We have resigned ourselves to buying a new one once a month.

    Not Chuck-It Durable
    Color: Orange & Blue Squirrel, Size: 4.7 inches (1 Pack), Color: Orange & Blue Squirrel, Size: 4.7 inches (1 Pack)
    Sadly only lasted an hour. My dog likes to pull apart toys over the course of a few months, with the exception of Chuck-It toys. They usually never get destroyed by him. I think its a good product but if you are looking for the durability like other toys from Chuck It - just wanted to share this is not the toy for you! Made him happy so not regretful of buying it, just wish it lasted longer. Here is him posing with it after he took bites of it like it was an apple.

    Boredom breaker!
    Color: Orange & Blue Squirrel, Size: 4.7 inches (1 Pack)
    Chuckit is my go to for my 60 pound American fox hound! I had a fractured spine and needed something quickly to keep him distracted indoors while I was healing. I love that it was durable but still did not harm my hardwood floors or furniture! It arrived overnight! I highly recommend!

    1st one lasted over 3yrs, 2nd started falling apart in less than a week....
    Color: Orange & Blue Roller, Size: 7.5 inches (1 Pack), Color: Orange & Blue Roller, Size: 7.5 inches (1 Pack)
    My dog really loves this toy. He’s a 5yr old border collie. He doesn’t work at tearing up his toys but he does shake his toys. I bought his 1st Chuckit it indoor football over 3yrs ago. It held up very well and had normal wear and tear I’d expect from a chuckit toy to have. It developed a small tear in fabric about 6months ago. As it was still mainly intact, I let him continue to play with it. Then the tear widened and I felt good time to replace, so I ordered one from Amazon. He was ecstatic to have a new one. I was quite disappointed though as in under a week from giving it to him(he’s always supervised during play so I do know what he does with his toys and he doesn’t work at them to tear them up) I noticed a tear down the seam that was bigger than the other one had for 6months. Over the next few days, tear widened. Now cover is completely off of inside. I’m really disappointed in the quality. I’m not sure if the quality of the toy is less than when I got his first one(which I bought in a pet store such as petsmart) or if for some reason because I purchased on amazon, they are of lesser quality. I do know for a fact as I supervise his play and with his favorite toys(and usually his spendier toys) they get put up when it’s not play time. He has his other toys that he can play with anytime. I have ran also into Kong toys (Wubba) that has come apart quickly in under a month,but those were both bought on amazon and at a retail store, so I don’t know if amazon is distributing toys of lesssr quality or if toy brands that have held up in past (Kong Wubba & this Chuckit football) are just being made of lesser quality. My dog’s style of play hasn’t changed nor has his supervision. That being said, my dog absolutely LOVES this toy. I want other users to be forewarned that I’ve had 2 of this product for my dog, they both developed a tear down seam, that eventually led to outer fabric shell coming off of the inner part of the toy. Yes my dog does shake his toys but 1st lasted over 3yrs, 2nd lasted less than a month and is in worse condition than the first. I may purchase this toy again as it’s one of his favorites just to see if the 2nd one was a fluke. Had I paid more than $6.19(I’m a prime member and it was an add on product) I most likely wouldn’t purchase a third one. I’m willing to see if the third one will last at least a yr. if it starts coming apart in less than a week again, I’ll have my answer which would be that chuckit has resorted to making their toys of lessor quality. I hope that’s not the case because they are one of only a couple of brands I hold in high regard for their good quality and durable dog toys. Please see picture. It’s his toy in less than a month. The outer material came off during play last night. It lasted less than a month from time I gave it to him to play with. 5/22/18 update. I bought him a 3rd indoor fumblr, it last almost 3 months...I ordered him a 4th one. I gave it to him Friday, today is Tuesday, his 4th one is already coming apart at the seams. When I ordered 4th fumblr, I bought 2 at the same time, they were $5.19 each(prime member add on price). I’m glad I did because now they are twice the price at now over $10. I very highly doubt I will buy another indoor fumblr unless price drops in half again. This last one that I gave him 4-5days ago, it hasn’t been his daily favorite toy. He’s maybe played with it a couple hrs each day. My dog really LOVES this toy. I’m moving my rating down to a 1 Star from 2 as this toy has consistently come apart rather quickly. I’m very disappointed in the quality of this toy. He’s 5 1/2yrs Old now. 1st fumblr last over 3yrs, he’s gone through the other 3 in under 6months...had I paid over $10 each time, I probably would’ve stopped after the 3rd fumblr came apart. as it is now, I won’t but any more fumblrs by chuckit at this price....if price drops, after he’s gone through the 5th one I have put up...I may consider it...but not at over $10 for a toy that comes apart through normal play in under 5 days...
