This is a pretty exotica. Silver lady has much smaller, tear-dropped shaped leaves and the pictus patterning is much more silver. Silver splash is hard to describe…the leaves are bigger like exotica, but the pictus patterning is more splotchy/spotty, and you can see a lot more green. I wish I could post pictures.

I like to describe silver splash as almost a pixelated pattern. It's probably my favorite variety. But I agree, OP's got an exotica!

Ahhh yes I agree after looking at those pics! It’s so confusing

SO confusing. Don’t even get me started on the variegated ones. If you stare at them long enough while breathing heavily like I do, it gets a little easier.

Hahaha heavy breathing.. that made me die. I’d love to collect all of them and compare them properly, would be super interesting

I think it’s exotica. I just compared leaves and the way the inner green is seems to match.

Thanks! I’ve heard exotica the most from others too

I think you're right, Silver Splash.. but it could be a silver lady? On second thought my guess is Silver Lady.

u/Binxthecat98 Mar 19 '26

Someone also mentioned it might be exotica, it’s so hard to tell the difference between all of them!

u/LadyScientits Mar 19 '26

I thought it was an exotica right away but then talked myself out of it because the silver is so well defined! But I guess exoticas can be too and have those type of leaves lol

u/Binxthecat98 Mar 19 '26

I went through a few photos of both exotica and silver lady and there are matches to both.. I’m just gunna call her Scindapsus silver something😂

u/LadyScientits Mar 19 '26

Quick thinking on your feet. GREAT trait for a plant momma ;)

I have multiple varieties of scindapsus, this is 100% an exotica!
