Syngonium podophyllum 'Batik' gets its name from an Indonesian method of dying cloth with wax. It was green arrowhead shaped leaves adorned with a lace-like pattern of light yellow veins. 

This plant like most is a variety that prefers indirect bright light but will tolerate low light conditions making it very versatile for many indoor settings. It grows best in higher humidity levels of around 60%. It is however very hardy and it will also grow in lower humidity well as well. Some browning of the edges of the leaves can also occur when the humidity is too low.

Its best to use a loose, well-draining soil to ensure adequate air-rating of the roots and ensure its not to stay too wet. To ensure over watering does not occur only water when the top two inches of the potting medium is dry. 

Like other vine plants, they are fast growers and benefit from having something to hold on to like a moss pole, or something they can climb but will also look magnificent in a clump hanging from a pot. These plants are also beautiful growers in an aquatic setting, simply clean off dirt and pop into your desired vessel making sure that the base of the plant is about the water level. Change the water as needed.

They propagate from stem cuttings very easily. Just snip below a node, place in water and wait a few weeks and it’s that easy. Fast to root, easy to transplant to soil. Or simply put straight into soil and keep soil moist until well rooted. It also very easy to separate clumps by untangle the root ball and simply potting each clump separately. This plant is made for propagating given its growth rate!

This plant if digested can be mildly poisonous and irritating to pets and people.
