🌿 Syngonium podophyllum 'Mottled' is a botanical treasure prized for its captivating, painterly foliage. Native to the lush tropical regions of Central and South America, this unique cultivar is a sought-after gem among plant enthusiasts, especially those who love the charm of variegated leaves in compact form.

🍃 The leaves of ‘Mottled’ are truly a work of art. Each one showcases an unpredictable mix of creamy white, soft mint, and deep green splashes, creating a marbled, almost frosted effect across its classic arrowhead shape. No two leaves are exactly alike, giving the plant a dynamic, living quality as it grows and unfurls new surprises. The delicate variegation becomes more pronounced in good lighting, making it an ideal focal point for a bright indoor spot.

📏 This variety remains petite and elegant, typically reaching around 15 to 25 cm in height. Its small stature and slow growth habit make it perfect for limited spaces, such as shelves, desktops, or grouped together with other tropicals in a plant arrangement. It also works beautifully in terrariums.

🌸 Although its foliage is the main attraction, Syngonium 'Mottled' may occasionally produce modest greenish-white flowers in the form of spathes — a trait it shares with other members of the Araceae family. These subtle blooms might appear in late spring or early summer, especially in mature plants, though flowering is relatively rare indoors.

💧 In terms of care, this plant is refreshingly low maintenance. It thrives in lightly moist soil, so it's best to let the top layer dry out slightly between waterings. Be cautious not to overwater, as its roots prefer a breathable environment. A well-draining mix and a pot with drainage holes are essential for keeping it healthy.

☀️ ‘Mottled’ does best in bright, indirect light, which brings out the full depth of its leaf variegation. It can adapt to medium light, but too little brightness may dull its unique coloration. Always avoid harsh, direct sunlight, as this can scorch its delicate leaves.

🌱 This plant is well-suited to beginners and seasoned collectors alike. It enjoys a stable, warm environment and benefits from occasional feeding during the active growing season (spring through early autumn). Pruning is rarely necessary, though removing older leaves can help maintain a tidy appearance.

⚠️ Note: As with most aroids, Syngonium podophyllum is considered toxic if ingested, due to the presence of calcium oxalate crystals. Be sure to keep it away from pets and small children to prevent accidental contact or chewing.

🪴 Format: Upon delivery, the plant has a height of approximately 15 cm (measured including the pot). It is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 6 cm.
