Syngonium podophyllum White Butterfly Kokedama measures around 9 inches tall with a moss ball of 4.5 inches. The display plate is not included.
Syngonium podophyllum is a moderately fast-growing aroid with creamy white foliage touched with green that combines with the arrowhead-shaped leaves to create an illusion of butterfly wings. As the plant grows larger, the leaves will become whiter and more remarkable with age.
CARE: Avoid bright, direct light for the best possible growing conditions. The summer temperature should not exceed 24°C, in winter it should not be lower than 15°C. Requiring moist air, it should be watered 2-3 times a week in summer, but much less often in winter. Dusty leaves should be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Feed in the summer with a small dose of fertilizers dissolved in water. To increase humidity, you can use a pebble or leca tray, place near an aquarium or humidifier, or place in a bathroom or kitchen.
Syngonium White Butterfly
Syngonium podophyllum is a species of aroid. Common names include: arrowhead plant, arrowhead vine, arrowhead philodendron, goosefoot, African evergreen, and American evergreen. The species is native to a wide region of Latin America from Mexico through Bolivia.
It climbs a few meters tall over the trunks of tropical jungle trees, clinging by its roots. The cultivars cultivated indoors reach a height of up to 1.5 m. During the year, the plant grows about 30 cm and produces 6-7 leaves. Its single leaves, usually arrow-shaped, are up through 30 cm long. In wild, the leaves are dark green and without variegation. Cultivated varieties have leaves in various shades of green, often light green and usually with different types of lighter tannins. There are several variegated cultivars, the main differences being in the position and extent of the cream or white markings. Some leaves are almost entirely white, pink or yellow.
Its flowers are small, greenish or whitish on spadices within light-yellow through green spathes. However, the plants grown indoors do not bloom, aside from the older, well-cared-for specimens.
