Syngonium 'Pixie'Latin name:
Syngonium podophyllum PixieAbout me:
I am a mini member of the Syngonium family which has numerous common names: Arrowhead Vine, Goosefoot Plant, African Evergreen and American Evergreen. My variegated leaves are my main attraction.Useful to know:
Origin
I come from the rainforests of Costa Rica mainly
Height/Growth
As my name suggests, I won't grow big - up to 40cm
Light
I like bright light but no direct sunlight please
Water
My soil needs to be evenly moist when you water me, then leave the top layer to dry before watering me again
Temperature
I'm more than happy living in normal room temperatures of between 16-24°C
Feeding
Fertilise me once a month throughout the year - my dormant period is very short
Grooming
I am a creeper, so pinch off any straying vines that make me look messy
Care
I love a misting as humidity will keep my leaves from crisping up at the edges
Toxicity
I am toxic so please don't eat me
Fact
My leaves change shape as I age from arrow shaped to a five lobed form as I mature. Visit here to see a pretty arrow-shaped Syngonium podophyllum 'Pixie' plant.
