Syngonium White Butterfly
Syngonium podophyllum ‘White Butterfly’
White Butterfly is the palest syngonium that still grows properly. The leaves open a soft cream-white with only a thin green margin and green veining, on stems so pale they are almost translucent. In a group planting it does the job a white flower would.
Because so little of the leaf is green it grows more slowly than the coloured forms and needs a genuinely bright spot. In a dark corner it greens up within two months and does not go back.
- The palest syngonium that still grows at a reasonable rate
- Needs bright indirect light or it greens up permanently
- Excellent contrast plant in a mixed group

How to look after your Syngonium White Butterfly
Written for Pakistani conditions — long hot summers, dry winter air, and hard tap water. Follow this rather than advice written for a temperate climate.
- Light
- Bright, filtered light. A metre back from an east or north window is ideal. Direct summer sun through glass will scorch the leaves within days.
- Water
- Water when the top 3–4 cm of mix is dry — roughly weekly in summer, every 12–15 days in winter. Drench until it runs from the drainage hole, then let it drain fully.
- Humidity
- Prefers 50–60%. In dry Punjab winters, group plants together or stand the pot on a tray of wet pebbles. Misting alone does very little.
- Soil
- Chunky, airy aroid mix — bark, perlite and coco peat. Aroid roots need air as much as they need water; dense garden soil will rot them.
- Feeding
- Balanced liquid feed at half strength every 3 weeks from March to October. Do not feed in December and January.
- Temperature
- 18–30°C. Move away from a direct AC draught, and off cold tile floors below 12°C.
If something goes wrong
Yellow lower leaves
Why it happens: Overwatering — the most common cause by far.
What to do: Let the mix dry to 5 cm depth, then water less often. Check that the drainage hole is not blocked.
Brown, crispy leaf edges
Why it happens: Dry air or salt build-up from tap water.
What to do: Raise humidity, and flush the pot with a large volume of water once a month.
Small new leaves, long bare stem
Why it happens: Not enough light.
What to do: Move closer to a window. Aroids stretch toward light rather than complaining first.
