The weather in Rome will be in the comfortable 70âs-80âs Â°F/20-30 Â°C during the day, and 60âs-70âs Â°F/15-20 Â°C at night. Partly because of the beautiful weather, and partly because these are vacation months for many people, spring is high season in Rome and other Italian art cities. For more, visit my pages about Rome in May, June and July.
Scindapsus pictus (satin pothos, silver vine) is a species of flowering plant in the arum family Araceae, native to Bangladesh, Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and the Philippines.he specific epithet pictus means painted, referring to the variegation on the leaves. With a minimum temperature tolerance of 15 Â°C (59 Â°F), this plant is cultivated as a houseplant in temperate regions, where it typically grows to 90 cm (35 in).
The form of satin pothos most frequently grown is a cultivar called âArgyraeusâ. Slow-growing, vines of this climber grow about a yard long and cascade readily or climb if a totem or other support is provided. Scindapsus pictus is easy to grow.hile it is easy to grow and beautiful in my home, it took lots of research to discover the plant's true identity. At first I thought the plant was a philodendron. Its growth habit is much like Philodendron hederaceum, so it made sense to me that it was a satin leaf form of philodendron.
