Scindapsus treubii ‘Dark Form’ is a striking indoor climbing plant prized for its thick, velvety leaves and deep, almost metallic green colouration. Known for its sculptural growth and refined appearance, it is a standout choice for modern interiors and jungle-style plant collections.

Often referred to in the trade as the “Dubai plant,” this name reflects its bold, luxurious look rather than its origin. Botanically, it is a true aroid native to Southeast Asia, where it grows as a slow-climbing plant in warm, humid forest environments.

When grown on a moss pole or support, Scindapsus treubii ‘Dark Form’ develops larger, more dramatic foliage over time. Its compact internodes and firm leaves give it a clean, architectural presence, making it ideal for feature spaces, shelves, or vertical plant displays.

This is a slower-growing plant compared to common aroids, but with proper care it rewards patience with exceptional form and long-term beauty.
