Exposure & location

The Syngonium ‘White Butterfly’ likes soft light and temperate atmospheres. Too much direct sun would burn its light leaves, while a total lack of light would slow its growth. Thanks to its great adaptability, it thrives in most bright rooms of the house.

• Indirect light or partial shade, without direct sunlight.
• Ideal near an east or north-facing window.
• Ideal temperature: between 18 and 26 °C.
• Avoid drafts and direct heat sources.

Verdeia Tip: the softer the light, the more its foliage retains its pearly reflections and silky texture 🦋.

Watering & maintenance

Easy to care for, the Syngonium appreciates regular humidity without excess water. Its delicate foliage also benefits from a slightly humid environment, especially during hot or dry periods.

• Water about once a week, when the soil surface starts to dry.
• Lightly mist its foliage to maintain ambient humidity.
• Avoid stagnant water in the pot or saucer.
• Remove faded leaves to stimulate growth.
• Can be trained on a stake for a vertical and elegant posture.

Verdeia Tip: light and regular watering is enough to preserve its freshness and natural glow 🌿.

Verdeia Tips
