Common Name:
Arrowhead Plant 'Holly'
Description:
Syngonium 'Holly' is a compact and decorative cultivar of the Arrowhead Plant, admired for its shimmering, silvery-white foliage with subtle green veining and edges. The arrow-shaped leaves have a soft, velvety texture and a luminous quality that brightens shaded indoor spaces with ease. With its clumping, upright habit when young and trailing or climbing potential as it matures, 'Holly' is highly versatile—perfect for pots, hanging baskets, or trained on a support pole. In Melbourne, this tropical beauty thrives indoors in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels, though intense sun should be avoided to prevent leaf scorching. It prefers a well-draining, peat-based potting mix and enjoys consistent moisture with light drying between waterings. Easy to grow and striking in appearance, Syngonium 'Holly' is a stylish, low-maintenance addition to any indoor plant collection.
