Syngonium podophyllum ‘Albo Variegata’
🌿 Syngonium podophyllum ‘Albo Variegata’ (Variegated Arrowhead Vine)
The Syngonium podophyllum ‘Albo Variegata’ is one of the most sought-after variegated houseplants for collectors and beginners alike. Its arrow-shaped leaves feature striking white, cream, and mint marbling, with some leaves developing bold half-moon or sectoral patterns. As the plant matures, it can vine or climb, producing larger leaves with fenestrations if given support.
This is a fast-growing, easy-care plant that provides stunning visual appeal year-round.

⚠️ Note on Natural Variation, Algae & Growing Conditions
Each plant displays unique variegation patterns—from marbled to sectoral splits—but all plants will match the size and quality shown.
Plants are shipped in a Fluval and perlite mix to encourage healthy roots and reduce transplant shock. Green algae may be present in the substrate—this is normal in high humidity conditions and poses no risk to plant health.
🌡️ Grown in 70–75°F temperatures and 70–75% humidity, these plants must be slowly acclimated to household conditions over 5–7 days to avoid stress or leaf loss.
🛠️ Care Instructions
Light:
Bright, indirect light is best. Variegation may fade in low light, while too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.
Water:
If kept in the Fluval/perlite mix, place in a self-watering pot or above a shallow nutrient-enriched water reservoir for consistent bottom wicking. Avoid letting the substrate fully dry out.
Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Acclimate gradually if moving to lower humidity environments.
Temperature:
Ideal range: 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts or extreme temperature changes.
Soil (if repotting):
When repotting, use a well-draining aroid mix (coco coir, perlite, bark) to encourage healthy roots and growth.
Fertilizer:
Feed monthly during active growth with a balanced liquid fertilizer at ¼–½ strength.
Growth Habit Tip:
Can trail from a hanging pot or climb a moss pole for larger, mature leaves.
