Syngonium Wendlandii
At Plant Proper, we’ve worked with a variety of Syngoniums, but Syngonium Wendlandii holds a special place in our collection. Its elongated, dark green arrow-shaped leaves feature a bold white variegation running down the center vein—a detail that truly sets this plant apart. Also known as Arrowhead Plant, Silver Goosefoot, Black Velvet, or Velvety Syngonium, the Syngonium Wendlandii is believed to bring luck and prosperity, symbolizing both resilience and growth.
Understanding Syngonium Wendlandii
We love the way Syngonium Wendlandii matures, gradually developing a more pronounced arrowhead shape in its foliage. This plant can climb a trellis or trail in a hanging basket, depending on how you choose to display it. It’s a flexible addition to an indoor garden, perfect for those who want a bit of vibrant greenery without high-maintenance demands.
Light Requirements
We recommend placing your Syngonium in bright, indirect light. A south-facing window is ideal, but be careful not to expose the leaves to direct sunlight—this can scorch the foliage. Keep in mind that lower light conditions will result in smaller leaves, so adjusting placement for optimal lighting is key.
Watering Routine
When it comes to watering, let the top layer (about an inch) of soil dry out before giving your Syngonium Wendlandii another drink. Too much water can cause leaves to yellow and drop, while insufficient watering leads to crispy brown tips. Striking that perfect moisture balance is crucial for healthy growth.
Care and Maintenance
Syngoniums are generally easy to care for and your Syngonium Wendlandii is no exception. Here are some essential tips:
- Fertilizing: Feed monthly during the growing season with a diluted, general houseplant fertilizer. Skip fertilizing if the plant goes dormant in winter.
- Propagation: Take a cutting and place it in water or directly into soil to encourage new root growth.
- Leaf Cleaning: You can gently wipe the leaves with neem oil each month to keep them clean and deter pests.
- Environment: Aim for moderate humidity and avoid extreme temperature fluctuations, helping the plant maintain its lush appearance.
