{"product_id":"syngonium-podophyllum-white-butterfly","title":"Syngonium podophyllum 'White Butterfly'","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSyngoniums, commonly referred to as arrowhead plants due to the spiky shape of their leaves, will love you if you keep them humid! This variety gets its name from the white variegation which spreads across most of each leaf, gradually moving from a soft, creamy white in the centre to green at the edges like a butterfly's wing. Due to the high levels of variegation, this species needs quite bright light, but it's well worth the effort to keep its beautiful foliage delicately coloured. Choose this variety for a delicate green and white plant sure to add character to your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eSyngonium podophyllum\u003c\/em\u003e 'White Butterfly' (foot-leafed plant with carpels, cultivar: white butterfly)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eSynonyms: \u003cem\u003eArum auritum, Pothos auritus, Syngonium affine, Syngonium amazonicum, Syngonium decipiens, Syngonium gracile, Syngonium poeppigii, Syngonium riedelianum, Syngonium ruizii, Syngonium ternatum, Syngonium vellozianum, Syngonium willdenowii, Syngonium xanthophilum, Xanthosoma gracile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eNephthytis\u003c\/em\u003e genus is often confused with the \u003cem\u003eSyngonium\u003c\/em\u003e one, so sometimes you'll find this plant sold with both names; there is no \u003cem\u003eS. nephthytis\u003c\/em\u003e though!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eWhite Butterfly Arrowhead Plant, Arrowhead Vine, African Evergreen, Nephthytis, Goosefoot Plant 'White Butterfly'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eTropical rainforests of South America, in: Belize, Bolivia, most of Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, French Guiana, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad-Tobago and Venezuela\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003ePrefers bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation.
