Characteristics and size

This plant is supplied approximately 16-18 inches tall in a 6-inch hanging pot. Individual plants vary in fullness, stem length, leaf size, and variegation. With good care and support, Syngonium can mature to approximately 3-6 feet indoors, sometimes longer when allowed to climb or trail. Pruning can keep the plant fuller and more compact.

Syngonium White Butterfly care

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light for the best growth and leaf pattern. Gentle morning sun can be helpful, but protect the leaves from intense afternoon sun, which may scorch pale areas.
• Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of potting mix feels dry, then let excess water drain away. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet or allowing the plant to sit in water. Water less often in cooler, lower-light conditions.
• Soil: Use a loose, well-draining indoor potting mix amended with perlite, pumice, or fine orchid bark. The roots need both moisture and airflow.
• Humidity: Average household humidity is usually tolerated, while moderate humidity around 40-60% can support healthier foliage. Good airflow helps prevent problems in humid spaces.
• Temperature: Keep it warm, ideally around 65-85°F, and protect it from cold drafts and temperatures below 55-60°F.
• Feeding: Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during active spring and summer growth. Reduce feeding when growth slows in winter and do not fertilize dry soil.
• Pruning: Trim long or sparse stems just above a leaf node with clean shears to encourage fuller growth. Remove yellow or damaged leaves as needed. Stems can be guided onto a support or allowed to trail.
• Propagation: Take a healthy stem cutting with at least one node and root it in water, damp sphagnum moss, perlite, or a light potting mix. Keep the cutting warm in bright, indirect light while roots develop.

What you will receive

You will receive one live Syngonium White Butterfly in a 6-inch hanging pot, approximately 16-18 inches tall at the time of listing. Product photos show the variety and general quality, but the exact plant shipped may differ. Natural variations in shape, color, leaf pattern, fullness, and clustering are normal for living plants. Minor cosmetic blemishes or leaf loss can occur during handling and shipping and do not affect the plant's long-term growth. The plant's mature size, trailing length, and variegation will depend on light, watering, temperature, nutrition, and pruning.
