SYNG WHITE BUTTERFLY INDOORS

• Syngonium podophyllum or the Goosefoot Plant / Nephthytis is a simple yet elegant and versatile houseplant to have in your home. Great for those just starting out and still desired by the more experienced indoor plant owners.

Easy to maintain, if looked after correctly, the Syngonium Podophyllum is a moderately fast growing aroid which will reward you with mottled foliage and arrow shaped leaves which resemble a butterflies wings, hence the name ‘white butterfly’. As the plant grows larger, the leaves become whiter and more remarkable with age. The plant is in the Araceae family, is semi-tropical ,and originates from Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Mexico.

A mature white butterfly arrowhead plant can reach around 18-24″ in width and around 18-24″ in height. The plant is unlikely to flower indoors, though the flowers are greenish/white in colour and kind of resemble the sort of bloom of a Peace Lily plant.

Watering your Syngonium

Syngoniums require watering on a fairly regularly basis, typically every few days in the summer months. I allow mine to almost dry out between waterings so as to ensure that the plant does not end up suffering from root rot.
