Embrace whimsy & charm with each fluttering leaf of ‘White Butterfly.’ This Synonium sends out arrowhead- or heart-shaped leaves that dance on stems like white butterflies. Leaves are creamy-white, edged in green. Over time, as ‘White Butterfly’ matures, it may take on a vining habit. Let it trail or trim its vines to keep it bushier.

Maintenance Notes:- For optimal performance, keep your Arrowhead Vine at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Arrowhead Vines prefer medium to bright, indirect light, but can tolerate a range of lighting conditions. If you notice burning leaf edges, move your Arrowhead Vine away from direct sunlight. Arrowhead Vines may tolerate lower light conditions, however, they will grow slower.
- Although not fussy about humidity, Arrowhead Vines do prefer humidity around 40% or higher.
- Arrowhead Vines will eventually develop a vining habit. You can trim yours back for a more compact look or allow it to trail.
- Arrowhead Vines prefer consistent moisture, but they do not like wet, soggy soil. As such, water your Arrowhead Vine thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- Feed your Arrowhead Vine once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
- Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
- When repotting your Arrowhead Vine, use an all-purpose potting mix, with perlite and orchid bark added to ensure good drainage & plenty of nutrients.
