Syngonium podophyllum 'Confetti'

Syngonium podophyllum 'Confetti' is a cultivated variety of the species native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. This cultivar is noted for its pale green to cream-toned foliage scattered with irregular pink speckles, which vary in intensity and distribution from leaf to leaf. The arrow-shaped juvenile leaves are typically retained under indoor cultivation, though in natural conditions the species can develop more lobed foliage as it climbs using adventitious roots.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid prolonged direct sun to maintain leaf colour and prevent scorching.
• Water: Allow the upper portion of the soil to partially dry before watering again; do not leave the roots in standing water.
• Humidity: Performs best in moderate to high humidity; misting or a humidity tray may be beneficial in drier air.
• Media: Use a well-draining, organic-rich potting mix.
• Temperature: Maintain between 18-27°C and protect from cold drafts.
• Fertiliser: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during active growth.
• Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound.

Additional Notes:

• Known to be toxic
