Syngonium 'White Butterfly'

Syngonium 'White Butterfly' is a tropical indoor plant prized for its bright leaves in shades of light green, cream, and greenish-white, with greener edges and a center that becomes increasingly pale as it matures. Its delicate-looking leaves and fast growth make it suitable for pots, shelves, supports, or stakes.

On young plants, the leaves are compact and arrow-shaped. As the plant matures, they can become larger and more divided, especially when grown on a support.

📌 Note

Coloration varies naturally and may differ from one leaf to another and from one plant to another. The proportions of green, cream, and greenish-white are influenced by light, the plant's age, and growing conditions.

New leaves may initially have a different shade than mature leaves, and the intensity of the lighter areas cannot be guaranteed to be identical on all future leaves.

Leaves may have small spots, bends, scratches, or dry edges resulting from growth, handling, or transport, which do not normally affect the plant's viability.
