Syngonium ‘White Butterfly’ is a popular cultivar of the Syngonium genus. It is known for its attractive foliage featuring shades of green and white, creating a butterfly-like pattern.

Appearance: They have arrowhead-shaped leaves that start off with light green coloration and gradually develop white variegation as the plant matures. The variegation pattern can vary, with some leaves having more prominent white markings than others. The leaves have a glossy texture.

Growth Habit: Syngonium ‘White Butterfly’ is a compact and bushy plant. It typically grows as a clump with multiple stems emerging from the base. The plant can reach a height of about 30 to 45cm, making it suitable for tabletops or shelves.

Lighting Requirements: Bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but prefers a well-lit spot. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for extended periods, as it can scorch the leaves. Placing the plant near a north-facing or east-facing window can provide suitable lighting.

Temperature and Humidity: This plant prefers average to warm temperatures between 18-27°C. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from drafts and temperature extremes. Syngonium ‘White Butterfly’ adapts well to normal room humidity levels.

Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Ensure proper drainage in the pot to prevent standing water.

Soil and Fertiliser: Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for houseplants. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil is commonly used. Fertilise the plant during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertiliser diluted according to the package instructions.

Pruning and Maintenance: Prune Syngonium ‘White Butterfly’ to control its size and shape. Trim back any leggy or overgrown stems to promote bushier growth. Regularly remove any yellowed or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance and overall health.
