The Showstopper for Your Indoor Collection

Exotica Scindapsus Care Guide
Light Requirements
- Prefers bright to medium indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation.
- Can tolerate lower light, but foliage may lose its silver markings.
Watering
- Water thoroughly, allowing the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings.
- Adjust watering frequency during winter or if placed in cooler environments.
Humidity
- Thrives in higher humidity levels (above 50%) but adapts to average indoor humidity.
- Consider misting or using a humidifier to enhance growth.
Temperature
- Ideal range: 60-85°F.
- Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil
- Use a well-draining potting mix with ingredients like peat moss and perlite to prevent root rot.
Fertilizing
- Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted water-soluble fertilizer.
Pruning and Propagation
- Prune to remove damaged leaves and encourage fuller growth.
- Propagate easily via stem cuttings in water or moist soil.
Growth Habit
- Trails beautifully from hanging baskets or climbs when provided with a trellis or moss pole.
Pests and Toxicity
- Resilient to most pests but monitor for common houseplant issues such as spider mites or mealybugs.
- Toxic to humans and pets if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals.
How to Differentiate Exotica from Other Scindapsus Varieties
- Silvery Ann: Features smaller, more heart-shaped leaves with irregular silver patches. In contrast, Exotica has larger, more dramatic leaves with bold and consistent variegation.
- Argyraeus: Known for its smaller leaves with fine, speckled silver spots, Argyraeus has a more delicate appearance compared to the bold and robust Exotica.
- Silver Satin: Similar to Exotica but with less pronounced variegation and a more subdued silver finish.
Why Choose Exotica Scindapsus?
- Show-Stopping Foliage: Its oversized, variegated leaves are a statement piece in any plant collection.
- Easy Care: Perfect for beginners and experienced plant parents alike, requiring minimal maintenance.
- Versatility: Whether trailing or climbing, Exotica adds depth and drama to your indoor spaces.
Native Habitat and History
Exotica Scindapsus originates from the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, where it grows as an understory plant. Its large leaves and silver variegation evolved to reflect low light and optimize photosynthesis in its natural environment. This cultivar has been a staple in indoor gardening since its introduction in the late 20th century, celebrated for its beauty and adaptability.

Memories Are Made of This
Format: Kindle
Belle Burden has overcome a weighty burden—pun intended! Strangers is a book of many colors. There is so much of the overcast gray of heartbreak and estrangement. There is plenty of the blue of heavy disappointment and grief. But happily for every reader, there are so many of the bright colors of happiness and fulfillment. The premise of this memoir has been well documented—a wealthy, privileged life led by a woman of means is interrupted by the abrupt departure of her husband for points unknown. Children remain—-lodged in some difficult ‘tween years. Central is the woman who just happens to be made of pretty stern stuff as it turns out and who is a brilliant writer. Belle Burden is the belle of her own tale. She shares it all with the reader in un-put-down-able prose, sparing nothing, We are richer for reading Belle Burden’s beautifully crafted memoir. The warm glow of hope is there for all to share. Well done!

Surprisingly Unputdownable
Format: Kindle
I read saw several reviews that said this book wasn’t really about anything, and they were right. There was no big drama, no fighting, no headline news. But there was something in the writing that felt profound and I couldn’t stop reading. And I’m glad I didn’t.
In the end for me, this was a story about a marriage, and choices that were made and the strength of a woman who wouldn’t be silent, and the writing that brought so much emotion with it that I wound up feeling all of it so deeply. And when a writer can create those feelings in me, then her book was definitely worth reading.
I highly recommend this book - I don’t think you’ll regret the time you spend in its pages. I know I didn’t.

Slightly Interesting
Format: Kindle
First, I think Belle is a great writer. There was a lot of effort put into making this a very readable book. I also think that what happened to her really was terrible. Her husband 100% was wrong in what he did to her with the affair and his disappearance. Ultimately, her marriage prior to the betrayal seemed very superficial. She acknowledges that she chose the comforts of wealth over a close relationship. She had a part time husband/father and honestly it's not surprising that he left. He was barely there to begin.
Her absolute terror in imagining that she would drop down from the top 0.1% down to around the top 1% was not the compelling tragedy that she seems to think it is. Her bemoaning of the loss of ultra luxuries tended to diminish the emotional toll of her plight.
The book is laced through with the eventual end that her husband is going to take his assets and half of hers, but it never happens. I think she wants to relate the uncertainty and fear that she had, but it comes off as fake panic.
In the end, it's a sad story, but it was very predictable. It's a story about a woman who outsourced her responsibilities, who doesn't know how to operate without extreme wealth, and who shudders at the prospect of having to work a job. It was a short book, but 3 times longer than necessary.

Raw and Honest
Format: Hardcover
I admit I purchased this book because of all the hype, but also because I have been, since childhood, intrigued by her various family legacies (Burden, Vanderbilt, Cushing, Fairbanks), and their alliances (Whitney, Astor, Roosevelt, etc). I was not sure what to expect, but I am grateful I read this book. Being a queer man I probably am not the core audience for this book, I can attest it is still a great read.
Ms. Burden is amazingly candid and honest in a way I don't think most people in her situation would be. I can already tell that there will probably be countless reviews about how privileged her life was even during and after her divorce, and how unrelatable this book is for many people, but then you are missing something. If you want to judge Ms. Burden for things she had no control over then you should examine your own life.
My hat off to the author for being so open about such private matters in her life, and also for doing a great job shielding her children in life and in the book.
I hope it is true that there is a movie/series being made that will star Gwyneth Paltrow. I love Gwyneth, and if the author won't play herself I think Gwyneth is an amazing choice for her poise, acting ability, and class. Can't recommend this enough!
OH, I am curious to know if anyone who read this book read Wendy Burden's memoir Dead End Gene Pool. I LOVE that book, but it is so very very different, and I am curious to know if Wendy and Amanda get along irl.
