Syngonium podophyllum Variegata ~ Rooted Cutting

This beautiful plant is relatively easy to care for. Its striking appearance and adaptability to various light conditions make it a great addition to any plant collection, especially for those who love tropical and variegated plants.

Appearance

• Leaves: Arrow-shaped and can display varying degrees of variegation, no two plants may have the exact same leaf pattern. 
  
  
• Size: It can grow to a height of about 3–6 feet (90 cm to 1.8 m) when given proper support, but it can spread out as a trailing vine if left to cascade.
  
  
• Growth habit: It's a trailing or vining plant, meaning it can cascade down from hanging baskets or climb up a moss pole or trellis if you provide a support.
  

Care Requirements

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate moderate light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's best to place it in a spot with filtered sunlight. Higher light tends to encourage more vivid variegation, while lower light may result in more predominantly green foliage.

• Watering: It prefers consistently moist (but not soggy) soil. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

• Humidity: Thrives in a humid environment. 

• Soil: A well-draining potting mix is essential. 
  

Common Problems

• Yellowing Leaves: This can happen from overwatering, poor drainage, or insufficient light. Check the soil moisture and make sure the plant is getting enough indirect sunlight.
  
  
• Pests: Can be susceptible to common houseplant pests like aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs. Regularly inspect the plant and treat any infestations promptly.
  
  
• Leaf Curling: This could be a sign of under watering, low humidity, or environmental stress.

Other Facts:

• Air-Purifying: Syngonium plants, like other members of the Araceae family, are known for their air-purifying qualities. They can help filter indoor air by removing toxins like formaldehyde.
