Variegated SYNGONIUM PODOPHYLLUM ~THE PERFECT TROPICAL GROUND COVER



I give this Syngonium a wink because it grows very fast and adds lots of bright white splotches to any deep green plantings. While other Syngoniums add a leaf or two in a season, this one can add ten or more.
I also love all the variegated variety. It's always a nice surprise to see what's next.
It also brightens areas with purple leaved plants.

When stems are cut and rooted, you occasionally get a reverted solid green plant. But most of the time it continues to grow beautiful white and green leaves.
I have not been brave enough to leave it outdoors for a frost. But my other two Syngonium varieties always come back from the roots so this one will probably do the same.
It's trade name is 'French Marble' and it's an older cultivar. To find more Syngoniums along with this one, visit Glasshouse Works. They have a wonderful collection for reasonable prices.
So until next time, thanks for stopping by!
