Botanical description.

Syngonium podophyllum originates from South and Central America but has now been introduced to tropical parts of Asia and Africa. The white variegation is the result of a rare mutation , the white parts lack chlorophyll which usually gives the green color.

Appearance.

As a young plant, the goosefoot grows compact and bushy, but sends out leafless shoots, much like strawberry plants. When it reaches a certain size, it begins to climb, and the leaf shape changes to a more lobed structure. The species name, “podophyllum”, means “foot leaf” and refers to the shape of the adult leaves. The Swedish name 'gåsfot' is also derived from its appearance. Buy Syngonium albo variegata online!
