Syngonium erythrophyllum "Red Arrow"

Syngonium erythrophyllum is a tropical plant belonging to the Araceae family, native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, in particular areas such as Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela.

This plant is known for its dark and bright green leaves, with red or pink veins which give them a very decorative appearance. The leaves are generally lanceolate or heart-shaped, but can vary slightly depending on the variety.

Syngonium erythrophyllum is a very popular houseplant due to its ease of cultivation and its ability to adapt well to variable light conditions. It is particularly appreciated for its durability and its ability to purify the air, making it an ideal choice for indoor environments.

This plant requires well-drained, light soil and thrives in indirect light or partially shaded conditions. It needs adequate environmental humidity, so it is advisable to mist the leaves regularly or place the plant near a source of humidity such as a tub of damp gravel.

Furthermore, it is important to avoid excess watering, as water stagnation can cause root rot. Syngonium erythrophyllum can be propagated easily via stem cuttings or dividing rhizomes.
