Syngonium ‘Beauty’

Aroids Australia

1850

This Syngonium is the creation of a accidental tissue culture mutation that has then been selectively propagated to continue the colouration and gene mutation. It’s also commonly called other names such as Beauty Queen, Beauty, Lava, Pjnk Beauty or Pink Blitz. The leaves of this plant are predominately pink with strips or large patches of green through the middle. As the plant matures the pink colouring generally becomes brighter. Sometimes the older leaves will turn a minty colour. The leaves can come through slightly misshapen due to the gene mutation from tissue culture which adds to the charm of this plant.

Care Specks:

	Bright to medium light, recommended placement is within a metre of a window
	Allow it to mostly dry between waterings but not entirely
	Give them well draining soil - adding about 20% to 30% perlite into your standard premium potting mix will do the trick.
	The best temperature range for your syngoniums is 20°C -35°C like other house plants
	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. 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. 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!
	These plants love humidity and will thrive very well with good levels, however will cope well regular spritzing to create own humidity.
	Toxic to pets!
