Soft green to cream leaves with a coy pink blush. A lovely relief from the usual greens. The arrow shaped foliage adds a handsome textural element wherever it is grown. Low maintenance, compact and colourful, what more could you want?
The colourful foliage is great in combination plantings, terrariums or their own pot.
As well as being known as the Arrowhead Plant or Vine, Butterfly Plant, Syngonium is also recognised as Goosefoot.
SIZE: 15-30cm x 15-30cm. You can pinch them to keep them compact. If you grow in a terrarium will be naturally smaller.
I SEE THE LIGHT: They grow best in a bright, indirect light – if you need a light to read by during the day in their position, it is too dark. They will grow happily in artificial light, they just need 8-10 hours a day – so perfect for the office. You will get the best leaf colour in a bright light position.
TIME FOR A DRINK: Average water requirements. Water thoroughly, then allow the top couple of centimetres of the soil to dry out before watering again – test this with your finger, or use a fancy water metre if you want to keep your hands clean.
Syngonium will grow best with some humidity. If you live in a cold climate, your heating in winter might dry the plant out (the leaf tips will turn brown, or just drop off). You can provide some humidity for your beloved plant, by placing them over a plate with rocks and water, this will form humidity around the plant. Or if you want to get very fancy and grow a few of these tropical treats, a humidifier is a good investment – they are also good for you. You can also spritz the leaves ever so often, or grow the plant in a steamy bathroom. Oh and don’t forget terrariums!
I WILL SURVIVE: Add a diluted liquid fertiliser every other watering over spring/summer, just follow the directions on the pack. Snip out any spent or damaged leaves to keep your plant happy and healthy.
Gently clean the leaves with a soft cloth or tissue to keep them free of dust. Repot in spring as the roots fill the pot, gradually increasing the size of the pot.
