How to Care for Your Syngonium 'White Butterfly'

Place your Syngonium in a bright room with indirect light to maintain its creamy variegation and healthy growth. It can adapt to medium or even lower light but may grow slower with more solid green leaves. Use a well-draining, peat-rich potting mix and water when the top layer of soil dries slightly. Keep the plant evenly moist but never soggy.

Provide humidity when possible, especially in dry climates. Prune to maintain a bushy form or add a moss pole to encourage upward vining. Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a diluted balanced houseplant fertilizer.
