Botanical name: Syngonium wendlandii
Also known as: Velvet Syngonium, Silver Stripe Syngonium

Syngonium wendlandii is a striking velvet leaf arrowhead plant known for its deep, dark green foliage and a bold silver stripe running down each leaf. The leaves in this form are long, narrow, and softly textured, giving the plant a refined, elegant look unlike any other Syngonium. Its velvety finish, rich color, and contrasting center stripe make it a collector favorite and a standout statement plant for shelves, desktops, and climbing setups.

☀️ Light: Prefers bright indirect light to maintain its silver stripe and velvety texture. Can adapt to medium light, but color contrast may soften.

💧 Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep soil lightly moist but not soaked. Avoid letting it sit in water.

🌫️ Humidity: Loves moderate to high humidity. Ideal near humidifiers or grouped with other tropical plants.

📏 Size: Grows 1–2 feet tall and can trail or climb. Leaves elongate and become more defined with age.

🐾 Pet-friendly?: ❌ Not pet friendly (toxic if ingested).

🪴 Where It Looks Best: Great for bookshelves, plant stands, hanging planters, or a small trellis where the silver stripe can catch the light.

💡 Pro Tip: Provide a moss pole if you want larger, more dramatic foliage. Wipe leaves gently to keep the velvet from collecting dust.
