Syngonium White Butterfly

🌿 Syngonium White Butterfly (Syngonium podophyllum ‘White Butterfly’) 🌿

The Syngonium White Butterfly is a visually stunning houseplant known for its unique and elegant foliage. Each arrow-shaped leaf is predominantly green with beautiful white or silvery-white patches that often merge to form a butterfly-like pattern, hence the name “White Butterfly.” This plant is perfect for adding a touch of sophistication and charm to any indoor space.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the variegation to fade.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark can improve drainage.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Regular misting or using a humidifier can help maintain the necessary moisture levels.
• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, diluted fertilizer.

This easy-to-care-for plant is perfect for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. The Syngonium White Butterfly not only adds a lush, green touch to your home but also brings a piece of the tropical rainforest into your living space. Just be cautious, as it is toxic to pets and humans if ingested.
