Syngonium Albo 3 Inch Pot | exact plant

This Syngonium Albo in a 3 inch pot is a hand-selected starter of the variegated arrowhead vine (Syngonium podophyllum ‘Albo Variegata’). Grown in our Lealman greenhouse after 13 years working with tropical aroids in Florida humidity, it shows bold white and green leaves that shift from leaf to leaf. Collectors like the compact size for bright indoor spots before it climbs or trails.

Bright indirect light keeps the white variegation strong on this Syngonium Albo. An east window or filtered west light works well. Low light makes new leaves greener and slows growth. Direct midday sun burns the white tissue because it has no chlorophyll. A simple grow light helps in darker months. We grow ours this way in St. Pete for steady color.

No, Syngonium Albo is not pet safe. Like other aroids, it contains calcium oxalate crystals. Chewing can cause mouth irritation, drooling, and stomach upset in cats or dogs. Keep it on a high shelf, hanging, or behind a barrier. Call your vet right away if a pet eats any leaves or stems.

Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry. The 3 inch pot dries faster than larger ones, so check every few days. Use filtered or distilled water for better results and fewer brown tips from chlorine or minerals. Water thoroughly until it drains, then empty the saucer. Never leave it sitting in water. Cut back in winter.

Use a chunky aroid mix with orchid bark and perlite so the roots get air and the soil does not stay soggy. Aim for 50-60% humidity with a pebble tray or by grouping plants. Keep temperatures between 65-85°F and away from cold drafts. Light fertilizer in spring and summer is enough. Add a moss pole or small trellis later if you want larger climbing leaves.
