The leaves are elongated and slightly heart-shaped, with a leathery texture and a deep charcoal to almost black surface that can show subtle green undertones in brighter light. This dark pigmentation intensifies as the plant matures and is one of the defining features that sets ‘Black Dove’ apart from other \u003cem data-start=\"707\" data-end=\"727\"\u003eScindapsus treubii\u003c\/em\u003e forms such as ‘Moonlight’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"756\" data-end=\"1059\"\u003eThis cultivar is a slow to moderate grower and naturally exhibits a climbing habit. When provided with vertical support, \u003cem data-start=\"877\" data-end=\"897\"\u003eScindapsus treubii\u003c\/em\u003e ‘Black Dove’ produces larger, more structured foliage, making it an excellent choice for collectors seeking bold contrast and a refined, architectural aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1061\" data-end=\"1064\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003eCare Plan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1080\" data-end=\"1091\"\u003eLight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1092\" data-end=\"1311\"\u003eBright, indirect light is ideal to maintain the deep leaf colour and support steady growth. It will tolerate medium light but may grow more slowly and appear greener. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1313\" data-end=\"1324\"\u003eWater\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1325\" data-end=\"1557\"\u003eAllow the top 3–5 cm of the growing medium to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain away. Overwatering should be avoided, as this species is prone to root rot in dense or constantly wet media.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1559\" data-end=\"1573\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1574\" data-end=\"1734\"\u003ePrefers moderate to high humidity (60% or higher). While it can adapt to average indoor humidity, higher humidity encourages healthier growth and larger leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1736\" data-end=\"1753\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1754\" data-end=\"1855\"\u003eBest grown between 18–28 °C. Avoid exposure to temperatures below 15 °C and protect from cold drafts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1857\" data-end=\"1877\"\u003eGrowing Medium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1878\" data-end=\"2061\"\u003eUse a free-draining, chunky aroid mix. A combination of premium potting mix, orchid bark, perlite, and coco peat or coir provides both moisture retention and airflow around the roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2079\"\u003eFertiliser\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2080\" data-end=\"2238\"\u003eApply a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every 3–4 weeks during the growing season (spring to early autumn). Reduce or cease feeding during winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2240\" data-end=\"2253\"\u003eSupport\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2383\"\u003eA moss pole or support is recommended. Vertical growth promotes larger, more mature foliage and improves overall plant structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"2385\" data-end=\"2414\"\u003ePruning and Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2415\" data-end=\"2568\"\u003eMinimal pruning is required. Remove damaged or ageing leaves as needed. Occasional leaf cleaning helps maintain appearance and photosynthetic efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Enliven","offers":[{"title":"125mm \/ Best Of Crop","offer_id":52611740303660,"sku":null,"price":19.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/8942\/1868\/products\/HBN9536ScindapsustreubiiBlackDove-1.jpg?v=1776721902","url":"https:\/\/enlivenplants.com.au\/products\/scindapsus-treubii-black-dove","provider":"Enliven Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
