Philodendron or Pothos?

Tempe, AZ(Zone 9a)

I just purchased this beautiful plant which was labeled Philodendron "Silver Splash," but I cannot find any reference to this variety. I checked the Plant Files and the closest id I can come to would be the Scindapsus pictus 'Argyraeus," synonym Philodendron, Pothos. There is a comment there that says the leaves have fine hair - this one does not. I would love to know exactly what it is so I know how to care for it. I am new to this forum, having recently developed an interest in Philodendron and would like to learn more about them, especially the care.

Thanks for taking a look and advice/comments.

Hi Cindy, you do indeed have a Scindapsus pictus. Hery nice plant too!

You can find more info at:

They grow rather slowly, so yours is probably many years old.
