Syngonium White Butterfly Care & Buying Guide

Syngonium White Butterfly

White Butterfly Syngonium: Overview

Syngonium White Butterfly (Syngonium podophyllum ‘White Butterfly’) is a spectacular climbing vine with large, heart-shaped leaves. The leaves are light mint green with darker green and white patterns along the veins. This indoor plant gets its common name, Arrowhead Plant, from the shape of its leaves, which resembles an elongated heart or the tip of an arrow.

The White Butterfly Syngonium is ideal for growing outdoors in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. This vining plant belongs to the Araceae family and is native to Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil, and Bolivia. Its vines can grow to 6 ft. long, but if pruned, Syngonium podophyllum can be shaped into a smaller bush. This beautiful large plant is sun-loving and requires plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. It’s an easy-care plant, suitable even for novice plant lovers. Beware that Syngonium is toxic to pets, like other plants from the same family.

The White Butterfly Arrowhead Plant symbolizes new beginnings, youth, springtime, and creativity. It is considered lucky in Feng Shui because it symbolizes the five elements – wood, fire, earth, metal, and water. It’s also ideal for balancing the Yin and Yang energies.

Some other striking Syngonium podophyllum varieties include the silvery white Syngonium Holly Bianco and the rosy, sunset-hue Syngonium Neon Robusta.

Syngonium Plant: Benefits

Syngonium White Butterfly: Care Guide

The Syngonium White Butterfly is beginner-friendly, due to its low-maintenance needs. Here are our Syngonium White Butterfly care tips to keep your plant in perfect shape:

Watering and Humidity

While Syngonium plants enjoy evenly moist soil. The topsoil should be dry before you water your green companion. Syngonium plants can be sensitive to chemicals in tap water, so use overnight or purified water for the best results. As a tropical plant, the White Butterfly Syngonium requires higher than normal humidity (about 55% - 60%). Mist your plant, use a humidifier, or group it with other plants to increase humidity.

Light and Temperature

Bright, filtered light is the best for your Arrowhead White Butterfly plant. Multicolored varieties like Syngonium White Butterfly and Syngonium podophyllum Holly require bright light to keep their variegated leaf pattern, which fades slightly in poorly lit conditions. Just make sure to protect its foliage from direct sunlight, which can cause burns. Outdoors, place this plant in full shade.  

This beautiful plant loves warm and humid growing conditions. It grows best in temperatures from 60℉ to 85℉. If grown as a porch plant, bring your Syngonium inside if night temperatures fall below 60℉.

Soil, Feeding, and Repotting

Your Butterfly Syngonium will grow best in well-draining, rich soil. Add perlite or coco coir for enhanced drainage, and pumice or charcoal for better root aeration. Feed your Syngonium plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer for indoor plants. Repot your Syngonium White Butterfly approximately every two years or if rootbound. Use a 2-inch larger pot.

Propagation

You can propagate your Arrowhead White Butterfly plant from cuttings and root them in water or soil. Cut 6-inch-long stems with leaves and place them in the preferred rooting medium. Ensure your cuttings receive indirect sunlight. If planted in soil, keep it moist but not soggy at all times. Syngonium plants can also be multiplied easily using the division method.

Pruning, Cleaning, and Common Issues

To keep your plant in a neat, bushy shape, prune regularly to remove leggy, trailing stems. Remove dust by cleaning the leaves gently with a damp cloth. Leggy, colorless leaves are a sign of insufficient light. Lack of humidity is another issue, causing crisp, brown leaves. Check your plant regularly for spider mites and aphids; use organic insecticide if necessary.

    Love the plant. Watered it, fed it, and used neem on it. Just getting ready to transplant into another clay pot. It's a keeper!
