Schismatoglottis are compact, shade-loving aroids from the tropical forests of Asia and the Americas, grown for their beautifully patterned, often silver-marked foliage. Undemanding and neat in habit, they are ideal for a shelf, a shaded corner or a terrarium. Our collection includes Schismatoglottis wallichii, the silvery sp. Silver Borneo and the variegated longispatha Variegated. Every plant is inspected before dispatch, with next-day delivery available.

Schismatoglottis is a genus of small to medium aroids, closely related to Homalomena and Aglaonema, grown almost entirely for their foliage. Many have gorgeous silver or grey markings, as seen in Schismatoglottis sp. Silver Borneo. They stay compact and clumping, and their tolerance of lower light makes them useful for shadier positions where showier plants would struggle.
Schismatoglottis are among the more forgiving collector aroids. They prefer bright to moderate indirect light, tolerate some shade, and grow well in a chunky, free-draining aroid mix. Water when the top of the substrate begins to dry, keep them warm and away from cold draughts, and provide humidity where you can. They are excellent terrarium plants for a humid, shaded foreground.
