🌿 Basic Info

Botanical name: Syngonium podophyllum ‘Pink Perfection’
Common names: Pink Perfection, Pink Dream
Family: Araceae (aroid family)
Origin/type: Cultivar of Syngonium podophyllum, selected for its strong pink variegation.

Feature	Description
Leaves	Arrowhead or ivy-like in shape when young; as they mature, they may develop more pronounced lobes, depending on light and training.
Color / Variegation	Leaves emerge with soft pink/blush tones, often with green margins or veins. The pink is dominant, giving a “painted” or “blush” look.
Growth Habit	Starts compact, then tends to trail or climb (if given support). If pruned and trained, can be kept bushy.

Needs bright, indirect light for best color. Pink tones are more vivid under good light.
Too little light → pink fades, more green may show.
Avoid harsh direct sunlight (especially midday) that may scorch leaves.

Soil should be well-draining. Aroid mixes with bark, perlite, peat or coco coir work well.
Keep soil evenly moist, but not soggy. Allow the top inch or so (or ~40-50% of the substrate) to dry before watering again.

Ideal temperature: ~ 65-85°F (18-29°C)
Likes higher humidity, ~50-70% or more, to keep leaves healthy and color strong.
Protect from cold drafts or temperatures below ~60°F.

Prune to encourage bushiness and manage size. Pinching back helps avoid legginess.
Can be grown trailing, potted, or trained on a moss pole or support.
Fertilize during active growth (spring to summer) with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer. Too much nitrogen may reduce variegation.

Problem	Likely Cause	What to Do
Pink color fading / turning mostly green	Low light, not enough indirect light, overwatering, or high nitrogen	Move to brighter indirect light; adjust water; reduce N fertilizer; prune out very green leaves to encourage new pink ones.
Leaf burn / brown spots	Direct sunlight or heat exposure	Shift to more shaded, indirect location; use filtered light.
Leggy or sparse growth	Light too low; not pruned; plant not climbing or trailing properly	Increase light; provide support; prune to promote branching.
Pests (e.g., spider mites, aphids)	Dry air / poor environment / lack of hygiene	Increase humidity; inspect new growth; treat with insecticidal soap or mild solutions.
