Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, the white variegation on the leaves will be most vibrant and pronounced when placed in a spot with plenty of filtered sunlight.
No, this plant is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
Yes, the Syngonium 'White Butterfly' ships fully potted in soil. You can place it directly into your space as soon as it arrives.
Water your plant when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Syngoniums prefer consistent moisture but should never sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
Yes, the foliage evolves as the plant matures. The white variegation typically becomes more intense and takes on a distinct, butterfly-like pattern as the plant ages.
