Syngonium Neon Robusta
Syngonium podophyllum 'Neon Robusta'
The Syngonium 'Neon Robusta' is a visually striking cultivar of the Arrowhead Vine, prized for its iridescent, dusty pink and pastel green foliage. As an adaptable aroid, it transitions from a compact, bushy juvenile form to a vigorous climbing or trailing vine as it matures. Its heart-shaped leaves eventually develop into the signature arrowhead lobes, making it a dynamic addition to any indoor plant collection.

Care Guide
Light: Place in bright, filtered light. Too much direct sun will burn the delicate pink leaves, while too little light will cause the foliage to lose its pink hue and turn solid green. ### Water: Allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Ensure the pot has excellent drainage to avoid soggy soil, which can lead to root rot. ### Humidity: While it tolerates average home humidity, it thrives in levels above 50%. Group with other plants or use a humidifier in drier months. ### Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining potting mix containing peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark. ### Pruning: If you prefer a bushier look, regularly pinch off the growing tips. If you want a vining plant, provide a moss pole or trellis for support. ### Troubleshooting: Yellowing leaves often indicate overwatering, while crispy brown edges usually suggest low humidity or underwatering.
