Syngonium podophyllum 'Pink Allusion'

The Syngonium podophyllum 'Pink Allusion', also known as Crow's Foot or Arrowhead Plant, is a hemiepiphytic plant. In its natural environment, it can be found growing in the ground or growing on another support, without being rooted. Having a more compact habit than the other varieties, the 'Pink Allusion' spreads a little less, but it can still be climbed on a trellis. It is a good thing to prune it regularly to keep a dense plant. Fairly easy to care for, syngoniums will grow as long as you remember to water them. They can cope with little light, but varieties like 'Pink Allusion' will have better color if they have adequate lighting. However, because the foliage is so thin, it should not be exposed to direct sunlight. It is a plant that does not like to be cramped in its pot, so do not forget to repot it when needed.    

The leaves of 'Pink Allusion' are spear-shaped, ranging from pale green to old pink, and outlined in a darker green. Pink veins accentuate the colors. This plant will really be a nice eye-catcher in your collection and its colors will contrast with the green of your other plants.
