The leaves of satin pothos display a stunning mix of shapes and colors. Juvenile leaves are egg-shaped or heart-shaped, with dimensions up to 6 by 5.5 inches (15 by 14 cm). Mature leaves, found higher on the stem, transition to oblong, lance-shaped, or heart-shaped forms. The leaves are green and adorned with white blotches or spots, featuring a somewhat leathery or fleshy texture. The underside of mature leaves is pale green, enhancing their distinct appearance.
The flowers of satin pothos feature a white, acylindrical shoot (spadix) that measures approximately 1.2 to 2.4 inches (3-6 cm) in length. This spadix is enclosed by a flesh-colored to white, modified leaf known as a spathe, which ranges from 2 to 2.8 inches (5-7 cm) long. These unique structures lack traditional petal arrangements and have no noticeable scent. The blooming period remains relatively understated, revealing subtle but distinct floral characteristics.
The fruit of satin pothos is a compact, 1-seeded berry, distinguishable by its rich dark green hue. The berry's surface presents a smooth texture, yet due to the dense composition, it manifests a firm feel to the touch. Remarkably spherical in shape, the fruit typically measures under 1 inch (2.54 cm) in diameter, making it modest in size. While the berry is often hidden beneath the foliage, its deep coloration provides a subtle contrast, inviting closer inspection. Such berries develop from the plant's inconspicuous flowers and encapsulate a single seed within their fleshy interiors.
