Description

Neon robusta: Out of the many Syngonium varieties you can see why the neon robusta is considered one of the most popular. It’s luscious leaves are a dusky pink colour with contrasting green undersides.

The Syngonium has many names: Arrowhead Vine, Goosefoot Plant, African Evergreen Butterfly plant and American Evergreen. Don’t be discouraged by their vibrant, tropical appearance – they are surprisingly easy to care for!

A lot of people are unaware that the Syngonium is actually a vining houseplant and will start to grow upwards if you supply it with a pole or trellis, alternatively you can leave it to trail, you can prune it back to maintain a bushy appearance.

Care:

Light: Bright, indirect sunlight will produce the biggest leaves but also really show off the plants bold, varying colours.

Water: During growing season water regularly, wait until the soil is dry before watering again. For best results water from underneath with the use of a saucer to reduce the chance of root rot.

Food: As the plant can keep growing all year round, feed it lightly once a month yearly as long as it is growing.

Humidity: These plants thrive in a high humidity situation, a decreased humidity will cause brown, crispy leaves.
