🌿 Syngonium podophyllum 'White Butterfly' is a graceful and timeless houseplant that brings a sense of calm and freshness to any indoor space. A native of the tropical forests of Central and South America, this variety is a true classic—favored for its soft, elegant coloring and its easygoing nature.

🍃 Its name, White Butterfly, couldn’t be more fitting. The plant’s delicate arrowhead-shaped leaves are a lovely pale, creamy green with subtle white veining, giving the impression of butterfly wings in flight. As the plant matures, its leaves may develop more defined lobes, adding texture and interest to its overall silhouette. It’s a plant that feels airy and light, perfect for brightening darker corners or softening modern interiors.

📏 This is a medium-sized variety that typically reaches around 25 to 40 cm in height. Its compact growth and bushy shape make it a wonderful tabletop or shelf plant, though it can also be trained to climb with the support of a moss pole or trellis, giving it more vertical presence.

🌸 Although it's celebrated mainly for its foliage, Syngonium 'White Butterfly' can occasionally produce flowers when grown in ideal conditions. The blossoms are subtle greenish-white spathes, and tend to appear in late spring or summer, though indoor flowering is relatively uncommon. Still, the elegant foliage more than makes up for its rare blooms.

💧 Caring for this plant is refreshingly simple. It prefers its soil to stay lightly moist but not soggy, so letting the top inch of soil dry out between waterings is a good practice. During the cooler months, it’s best to reduce watering slightly. A breathable, well-draining potting mix will help keep the roots healthy.

☀️ White Butterfly thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps it maintain its gentle variegation and vibrant leaf tones. It can adapt to lower light conditions, but the colors may soften or fade slightly. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it may scorch the delicate leaves.

🌱 This is a fantastic plant for both novice and experienced plant owners. It doesn’t require frequent pruning, aside from the occasional tidy-up to remove older leaves. During spring and summer, a gentle dose of houseplant fertilizer every few weeks will help it stay lush and happy. It also appreciates humidity, but will cope just fine in typical indoor environments.

⚠️ Note: Like many aroids, Syngonium podophyllum is considered toxic if ingested, due to the presence of calcium oxalate crystals. It’s best to keep it out of reach of pets and young children who might be tempted to nibble on its pretty leaves.

🪴 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.
