Dwarf Syngonium Red
Syngonium leaves have five lobes, which reflect the five Feng Shui elements of water, fire, earth, wood, and metal. As a result, it precisely balances the positive energy of Yin and Yang.
It’s packed full of contrast and color, with creamy white variegation in the center of the leaves and a rich emerald green around the margins. This diminutive cultivar will not only produce smaller leaves but will also remain compact for the rest of its life.
The leaf color of arrowhead types ranges from dark green to highly variegated dark and light green, but each arrowhead variety’s leaf always has that unique arrow shape.
The Dwarf Syngonium plant is an attractive and multipurpose houseplant. You can grow it as a compact, bushy plant or accept its creeping, climbing nature and grow it into a tall cup with a moss stick. It also works perfectly if you wish to cultivate various house plants in a large pot.
