Syngonium White Butterfly Plant

Syngonium White Butterfly is a gorgeous mound of creamy white foliage touched with green combines with the arrowhead-shaped foliage to create an illusion of butterfly wings. The subtle color is a perfect accent to any décor.  Looks wonderful cascading from a hanging basket. Looks great spilling over container edges. Very decorative on a small table or in a hanging basket. May be displayed outdoors in warmer weather.

Start with a good quality, commercial potting soil. These are usually lighter in weight than topsoil, sterile and pest-free. Many are available with a mild starter fertilizer in the mix. Select a container with a drainage hole or be prepared to drill holes for drainage if there are none. Prepare the container by filling with potting soil up to 2” (5cm) from the rim of the planter. Remove the plant from its pot.

Make a small hole in the soil slightly larger than the root ball either by hand or using a trowel. Insert the plant into the hole and press soil firmly around the roots and just covering the root ball. When all the plants are potted, water thoroughly to settle the soil and give plants a good start. Place plant in a reliably sunny location. Repot every 2 years in the same container or in a container slightly larger than the diameter of the roots.

Light – Medium light is best and so a little way away from a South facing window or close to a North facing window would be ideal.

Soil – A well-draining soil which is made for houseplants is recommended for the syngonium. Avoid soils which are general purpose or made for growing vegetables. Since the Syngonium Podophyllum is a climbing plant, as your plant grows, you may well consider adding a moss pole and using little ties to aid your plant in climbing up the pole.

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

Plant Tip – Like many aroids, the white butterfly doesn’t enjoy light conditions which are too bright, and so a south Facing windowsill would be less than ideal for optimum growth. Avoid bright, direct light for the best possible growing conditions. Instead, medium light is best and so a little way away from a South facing window or close to a North facing window would be ideal.
