Syngonium chiapense variegated
Syngonium chiapense variegated is a highly collectable plant with large, paddle-shaped green leaves and white variegation. Ideally, plants produce a mix of green and variegated leaves, but they can also develop all-white or all-green leaves. While some may return to a more balanced pattern, others may not, requiring cutting back to encourage better variegation. Due to the unpredictable nature of its variegation, this plant is best suited for experienced growers.
It requires consistently high humidity around 70%—too much can cause the white areas to brown. Warm temperatures of around 25°C and bright, indirect light are ideal. If exposed to too much light, the green areas may develop a patchy appearance, while too little light will slow growth. Selected plants show colour on the plant sheath, indicating potential variegation in new growth, but this is not guaranteed. Each plant has multiple nodes, providing opportunities for propagation if needed.
10cm nursery pot
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates medium light. Variegated varieties require brighter conditions to maintain their unique patterns. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water: Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Water thoroughly, ensuring good drainage, and avoid waterlogged conditions.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 18–26°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Humidity: Thrives in humidity levels above 50%. Syngoniums adapt well to household humidity but grow more vigorously in higher humidity.
Medium: Use a well-draining mix with components like peat moss, perlite, and bark. For optimal results, refer to our Ultimate Premium Aroid Mix Recipe.
Fertiliser: Feed during spring and summer with Growth Technology Foliage Focus. Reduce fertilisation in cooler months but continue occasional feeding to maintain health.
