Syngonium podophyllum 'Holly'

Syngonium podophyllum 'Holly' is a cultivated variety of the species native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. This cultivar is characterised by its leaves displaying a silvery-white central area with contrasting green margins, often with a subtle metallic sheen. The foliage retains the arrow-shaped form of the juvenile stage when grown indoors, though in its natural habitat the species can produce more lobed, mature leaves as it climbs using adventitious roots.

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is preferred; protect from prolonged direct sunlight to avoid leaf scorch.
• Water: Water when the upper layer of soil begins to dry; avoid allowing the potting mix to remain saturated.
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity; additional humidity may enhance leaf appearance.
• Media: Grow in a well-draining mix containing organic material.
• Temperature: Ideal range is 18–27°C; keep away from cold air or sudden temperature drops.
• Fertiliser: Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during active growth.
• Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots fill the container.

Additional Notes:

• Known to be toxic
