Syngonium ‘Albo-Variegatum’ — Variegated Arrowhead Vine

Description

Syngonium podophyllum ‘Albo-Variegatum’ is a variegated arrowhead vine. Its green leaves have bold white patches. Each leaf can have a different pattern.

Young plants are compact. Older stems can trail or climb. Add a support if you want the vine to grow up, or let it spill from a pot.

Light

Give it bright, indirect light. Strong sun can burn the white parts of the leaves. Low light may lead to more green growth. For pink and cream color, see Syngonium ‘Milk Confetti’.

Water and Soil

Use loose soil that drains well. Water when the top of the mix starts to dry. Let extra water drain away. Do not leave the roots in wet soil. For a soft green form, see Syngonium ‘White Butterfly’.

Climb, Trail, or Trim

Train the stems on a pole or trellis, or let them trail. Trim long growth to keep a fuller plant. Stem pieces with a node can root and make new plants.

Simple Care

Feed lightly while new growth is active. Keep the plant warm and away from cold drafts. Check new leaves for pests. For a dark velvet arrowhead vine, see Syngonium wendlandii.
