Syngonium 'Regina Red'

Syngonium 'Regina Red' is a beautifully is pink and green-coloured (depending on the cultivation conditions and light) cultivar of Syngonium podophyllum Schott.The Syngonium is a popular trailing houseplant with attractive heart-shaped leaves. Also known as the Arrowhead, this sub-tropical plant is versatile and easy to care for, making it an ideal indoor plant at home or office.

Syngonium are climbing epiphytic or hemiepiphytic herbaceous ever-greens native to humid forest floors of Central and South America. Juvenile leaves are simple and arrowhead in shape, whereas mature leaves are compound with elliptic shaped leaflets. Due to their colored foliar variegation and tolerance to low light levels, syngoniums in their juvenile stage have been grown as ornamental foliage plants and used for interior plantscaping 

Light: The Syngonium thrives in bright indirect light but will tolerate low light settings.

Watering: Water the soil thoroughly and wait for the water to drain through, then empty any excess water sitting in the saucer. Allow the top 3-5cm of soil to dry out before watering again. In the cooler months, your plant won’t want as much water.

A matured Syngonium develops a climbing habit, which looks lovely climbing on a totem or cascading over the sides of a hanging basket. If you prefer a compact desk-plant look, simply trim the unwanted leaves with a clean pair of secateurs or scissors.
