Syngonium podophyllum Schott
Syngonium podophyllum is a tropical perennial shrub or vine in the Araceae family that climbs to 6 feet. It is prized as a low-maintenance houseplant with green or variegated arrow-shaped or heart-shaped juvenile leaves, and becomes increasingly lobed as it matures. Young plants have a shrubby habit but develop vine-like characteristics with age, making it suitable for hanging baskets, ground cover, or climbing displays. The plant produces rare green to greenish-white flowers on spikes in interior settings.
