🌿 Syngonium 'Red Spot' (Pink Splash) — Pink Splashes on Green Arrows

Syngonium podophyllum 'Red Spot' (also known as 'Pink Splash') is one of the most sought-after variegated Syngoniums, selected for its medium-green foliage sprinkled with powdery pink splashes, patches and zones. Each leaf is a unique painting, and the combination of green and pink tones creates a romantic, almost fairy-tale visual impact.

Unlike classic white variegation, 'Red Spot' develops pink pigmentation — a rarer and more prized genetic trait. Pink intensity varies from a few delicate powdery-pink splashes to large pink-magenta zones, creating highly individual plants. Variegation intensifies under bright indirect light.

At the offered size — Ø6cm pot — the plant is young, with 3-5 variegated leaves. Grows moderately fast, develops climbing stems up to 1-2 m. Ideal for aroid collectors with sensitivity to romantic palettes.

🌍 Botanical Origin

Syngonium podophyllum native to tropical Central America. 'Red Spot'/'Pink Splash' cultivar is a horticultural selection for pink-magenta pigmentation. Araceae family. Toxic (oxalates).

🌱 Pink Variegation

Arrow leaves 8-15 cm medium green with powdery-pink to pink-magenta splashes, patches and zones. Each leaf has unique pattern. Variegation is more unstable than white — can revert to uniform green in low light, but can reappear in optimal conditions.

🌱 Care

• Light: BRIGHT indirect (key for pink variegation).
• Temperature: 18-28°C.
• Watering: moderate.
• Humidity: 60-80%.
• Substrate: aroid mix.
• Fertilization: every 3-4 weeks.
• Propagation: cuttings with pink nodes (essential for variegation inheritance).

🌿 Toxic

Oxalates. Out of reach of children/pets.

🌸 Why 'Red Spot'

Pink variegation — rare and romantic. Each plant is unique. Preferred by collectors for delicate aesthetics and unpredictable variegation character.

🌱 Maintaining Pink

Bright indirect light is CRITICAL. Pink zones have very little chlorophyll, so the plant needs more light than green cultivars. In shade, pink quickly fades. Move to brighter light for recovery.

🌱 Common Problems

Reversion to green: insufficient light. Burns on pink zones: direct sun. Yellow leaves: overwatering.
