Syngonium Pink Splash
BeginnerSyngonium podophyllum 'Pink Splash'
A syngonium with beautiful pink splash-like variegation. Leaf shape changes with growth.
Overview
Syngonium podophyllum 'Pink Splash' is a cultivar of arrowhead plant prized for its leaves speckled and splashed with varying amounts of pink variegation against a green background. Each leaf is unique in the distribution of its pink colouring — some are almost entirely pink, others more subtly marked — giving the plant ongoing visual interest. Leaf shape evolves from simple arrowheads in juvenile plants to more deeply lobed forms as the plant matures. Bright indirect light maintains and enhances the pink variegation; lower light causes it to fade toward green. Water when the soil surface dries, avoiding overwatering. As a vining plant, it can be trained up a support or left to trail. Propagation from stem cuttings with a node is straightforward. Maintaining adequate light is the key to preserving its attractive pastel-pink colouring — a highly popular choice for collectors of coloured-leaf houseplants.

Growing Tips
Light & Placement
Bright indirect light keeps the splashes vivid. Direct sun causes leaf burn, so place it behind a sheer curtain.
Watering
Water once the surface has dried. Overwatering causes root rot, so never leave water in the saucer.
Temperature & Overwintering
Tropical and cold-sensitive. In winter keep it in a warm room, away from cold windows and direct heater drafts.
Propagation
Propagates easily from stem cuttings with a node. Root in water or moist mix, then pot up once roots appear.
Pruning & Shaping
As a vine, train it on a pole or let it trail from a hanging pot. Cut back stems that grow too long.
Notes
Pink variegation fades in low light
