Syngonium podophyllum 'Mango Allusion' ™ is a beautiful cultivar with heart shaped leaves that are pink and can include some peach or violet color. Once the leaves start getting their color, the veining will also color as well. 'Mango Allusion' ™ will grow 10-14" in height. It prefers partial sun, but can tolerate full shade.
Syngonium podophyllum is very popular and easy plant species to care for that is native to a wide region of Latin America - from Mexico to Bolivia. It is also known as the Arrowhead Philodendron, Arrowhead Plant, or simply by its genus name - Syngonium. Its leaves are distinctively shaped like an arrow, hence the common name references. This moderately long growing tropical plant comes in a wide variety of colors and cultivars and appreciates moderate lighting with moderate to heavy watering needs but tends to be quite forgiving on both ends of the spectrum. Over time, it can grow quite large: around 3-6 feet, however, it will grow more like a vine as it matures and not support itself as a free-standing plant.
USDA Hardiness Zones 9-10
Container Gardens/Terrariums/Houseplant:
Syngoniums are one of the most popular house plants due to their attractive foliage and ease of care. This plant is pretty versatile at different life stages, but can last very long-term as an attractive house plant. It prefers evenly, almost constantly moist soil, but needs drainage and will not do well in a soggy environment. Due to its more vining/trailing nature in age, it is a great candidate for a hanging basket.
Josh's Frogs offers a wide variety of glass terrariums, container garden soils, drainage layers and other supplies for all of your indoor gardening needs.
Vivariums/Animal Terrariums:
Being tropical, this plant does great in the high moisture environment of a well-drained vivarium. At the size we sell this plant, it can be kept in most vivariums for about a year. At that point, it might be better taken out and transplanted to allow further growth as a houseplant due to its large growing size.
As good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Plants from Josh’s Frogs are specifically grown to be safe for use with animals. Live plants may vary in color, size and appearance.
