The Syngonium Butterfly, also known as Syngonium podophyllum 'Butterfly,' is a charming indoor plant admired for its delicate, arrow-shaped leaves adorned with soft green and cream variegation. With its compact size and graceful foliage, it adds a touch of beauty and tranquility to any indoor space.
Place your Syngonium Butterfly in bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation and promote healthy growth. It can tolerate lower light conditions but may lose some of its vibrancy. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, and rotate the plant periodically for even growth.

Watering
Water your Syngonium Butterfly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure thorough watering, allowing excess water to drain away. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. In winter, reduce watering frequency to prevent waterlogged soil.

Other helpful tips
Provide moderate humidity by misting the leaves or placing a tray of water filled with pebbles beneath the plant. Trim leggy stems to promote bushier growth and maintain its compact shape. Consider using a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy foliage growth.
