This Syngonium really is the classic 'arrowhead plant' look. Its mid-green leaves are webbed with bright white variegation, highlighting the veins across the span of their arrowhead shapes. This plant will love you if you keep it in a humid spot, and make sure it gets bright light without scorching direct sun. And keep an eye on that gorgeous variegation - if you notice new leaves are coming through with more green and less white, it may not be getting enough light. Growing to around a foot (30cm) tall indoors, this Syngonium is the perfect stylish houseplant to add to your interior decor; keep it happy and it will reward you with a chic outline and stunning, delicate lines of variegation.
