The arrowhead plant or syngonium goes by numerous names, including arrowhead vine, American evergreen, five fingers, and nephthytis. Although it may be grown outdoors in some regions, the arrowhead plant (Syngonium podophyllum) is typically grown as a houseplant. The Syngonium white is a collection of soft, creamy white leaves with a greenish-green variety. The arrow-shaped leaves make the plant look like a collection of butterflies.
These plants are easy to care for and grow well in warm, dry climates both indoors and outdoors and look amazing on shaded patios and balconies. The leaves turn white as they mature and are an excellent choice for both table and hanging baskets.
Overall, syngonium plant care is quite easy. The syngonium plant should be allowed to dry out between waterings. Although the plant enjoys some moisture, it should not be kept too wet, which may lead to root rot. Proper syngonium plant care requires humid conditions, especially during dry winter months. Mist the plant daily or place its container on a tray filled with pebbles and water to increase humidity for optimal growth. The syngonium plant can be fertilized monthly with a balanced fertilizer. The leaves change shape as the plant matures, beginning as an syngonium shape, and then changing into three to five finger-like sections. Leaves are generally green in color but there are many varieties that include variegated leaves of differing shades. The heavily variegated varieties require bright, filtered light. Average light is the norm for solid green varieties or those with less variegation. Keep them away from direct sunlight, as this will cause the arrowhead plant to burn or bleach. The syngonium plant will tolerate low light levels on occasion.
