Syngonium podophyllum 'Berry'

Syngonium podophyllum 'Berry' is a cultivated variety of the species native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. This cultivar produces foliage with pink to reddish-pink centres and green margins, with the colour intensity influenced by light exposure and leaf age. The juvenile arrow-shaped leaves are most common in indoor cultivation, although in natural climbing conditions the species can form more complex, lobed leaves as it matures.

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is recommended; excessive direct sunlight may cause leaf scorch, while low light can reduce colour intensity.
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist, allowing the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; additional humidity can help maintain foliage quality.
• Media: Grow in a well-draining potting mix with organic matter.
• Temperature: Maintain between 18–27°C; avoid exposure to cold draughts.
• Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during the active growing period.
• Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or once the roots have filled the container.

Additional Notes:

• Known to be toxic
