Syngonium podophyllum 'Pink Passion'

Syngonium podophyllum 'Pink Passion' is a decorative cultivar of the Central and South American climbing aroid Syngonium podophyllum. It features arrowhead-shaped leaves suffused with pink to deep rose tones, often with subtle green margins or veining. The intensity of the pink can vary depending on light exposure, with brighter, indirect light encouraging stronger colouration. Like other Syngoniums, it begins with a compact, juvenile form but will develop more lobed leaves as it matures if given vertical support. In its native form, the species grows in the humid understory of tropical forests, using aerial roots to climb tree trunks.

Care Tips:

• Light - Provide bright, indirect light to maximise pink colour; avoid harsh midday sun which can damage foliage.
• Water - Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy; allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings.
• Humidity - Prefers moderate to high humidity; mist regularly or use a humidifier if indoor air is dry.
• Media - Use a free-draining aroid mix with bark, perlite, and organic matter.
• Temperature - Ideal range is 16-28 °C; protect from cold and frost.
• Fertiliser - Apply a diluted balanced fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
• Repotting - Repot every 1-2 years or when roots fill the container; provide a pole or trellis for climbing growth.

• Known to be toxic
