Ethereal Leafy Charm

Scientific Name: Syngonium podophyllum ‘White Butterfly’

Common Names / Known As: White Butterfly Plant, Arrowhead Plant, Goosefoot Plant

Brief Description: Originating from the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, the Syngonium White Butterfly captivates with its arrow-shaped leaves, featuring a creamy white variegation splashed over soft green. This versatile vine trails beautifully or climbs with support, making it ideal for hanging baskets or shelves in indoor spaces. Perfect for beginner plant parents, its easy-going nature adds a delicate, airy elegance to any home.

Quirky Fact / Common Use: Its leaves transform from arrow-shaped to lobed as it matures, earning it the nickname “Arrowhead Plant,” and its ethereal white variegation evokes butterfly wings, making it a favorite for creating dreamy, Instagram-worthy indoor jungles.

Available: 15cm Pot

Care Tips

🌱 Care Tips

  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant variegation; tolerates low light but may lose some white coloring—avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn.
  • Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry, about every 1-2 weeks, ensuring good drainage to avoid root rot; reduce watering in winter.
  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50-60%); mist regularly or use a humidifier to keep leaves lush, especially in dry indoor conditions.
  • Temperature: Best in 18-24°C; protect from cold drafts below 15°C to prevent leaf drop.
  • Feeding: Apply a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) monthly during spring and summer; skip in winter to avoid overfeeding.
  • Pet Friendly? ❌ Toxic to pets if ingested, causing mouth irritation or digestive issues due to calcium oxalate crystals.

What would you like to see:

To ensure fresh and healthy plants we follow a strict weekly shipping schedule: 

Mondays: We prepare plants for shipping! This means wrapping the soil, adding plant sleeves, and one last pre-travel watering. 
Tuesdays: We wake up bright and early to get all plants carefully packaged for shipping in the morning, in the afternoon we hand over plants with the longest travel ahead of them to our courier partners (this means Eastern, Western and Northern Cape)
Wednesdays: If there are any plants that did not fit in the Tuesday truck, they travel in the second batch on a Wednesday. 
Thursdays and Fridays: No plants are shipped, we carefully monitor all the travelling plant babies to ensure they arrive safely at their new homes ! 

Why do we do this? 

Our shipping schedule works this way to ensure that your plants are less likely to spend a weekend in the courier depot ! Our shipping schedule is designed this way to ensure that your plants are fresh and healthy, for this same reason we do not like keeping stock for extended periods of time which means that stock received on Thursdays and Fridays will only be shipped the following week.
