šæ Syngonium podophyllum āConfettiāĀ is a delightful tropical houseplant that truly lives up to its festive name. Native to the lush rainforests of Central and South America, this rare variety brings a splash of playful elegance to any indoor space, thanks to its uniquely patterned foliage.
š The standout feature of āConfettiā is its variegated leaves, which are softly arrow-shaped and generously speckled with blush-pink and creamy white splashes scattered across a background of soft green. Each leaf appears as though itās been gently kissed by watercolor paint, making it a real eye-catcher in any collection. The colors can vary slightly depending on lighting conditions, often becoming more vibrant in bright, indirect light.
š As a compact grower, Syngonium āConfettiā generally reaches an indoor height of around 25 to 40 cm, making it ideal for small spaces, desks, or as part of a mixed foliage display. Itās an excellent choice for plant enthusiasts looking to add a touch of color without needing a lot of room.
šø While this plant is primarily admired for its leaves, it may occasionally flower under the right conditions. Its blooms are modest and appear as greenish-white spathes, somewhat similar to peace lilies, typically emerging in spring or early summer. However, flowering indoors is uncommon, and most growers focus on its striking foliage.
š§ In terms of care, the āConfettiā is refreshingly easygoing. It enjoys moderate watering, preferring the soil to be slightly dry at the top before the next drink. Be cautious not to overwater, as soggy roots can cause issues. A well-draining potting mix helps keep the plant happy.
āļø This plant thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its colorful leaf pattern. It can also tolerate medium light, though some of the pink speckles may fade if lighting is too low. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the leaves.
š± āConfettiā is low maintenance and well-suited to beginner plant lovers. Occasional misting, light pruning, and feeding with diluted houseplant fertilizer during the growing months (spring to early autumn) are all it needs to flourish.
ā ļø Note: As with most members of the Araceae family, Syngonium podophyllum is toxic if ingested. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation if chewed or swallowed. Be sure to keep it out of reach of pets and small children.
šŖ“ Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 25 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 12 cm.
