The White Princess (Syngonium podophyllum 'White Princess') is a stunning variety of the arrowhead plant known for its striking white, cream, and green variegated leaves. This cultivar is particularly prized for its elegant appearance and easy care, making it a popular choice among houseplant enthusiasts. It shares many care requirements with other Syngoniums but has a few considerations due to its unique variegation.

Sunlight:

The White Princess requires bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. The white and cream areas of the leaves need plenty of light to stay bright. Too little light can cause the plant to lose its variegation and revert to solid green leaves.

Avoid Direct Sunlight: While it needs plenty of light, direct sunlight can scorch the leaves and damage the variegation. Keep it out of direct sun, especially in the afternoon.

Water:

Moderate Watering: Water the White Princess when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry to the touch. The plant likes its soil to remain slightly moist, but not soggy.

Avoid Overwatering: Always make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot, a common issue with Syngonium’s if the soil stays too wet.

Temperature:

Warm Conditions: The White Princess prefers temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C). It is sensitive to cold and should be kept away from drafts or air conditioning vents.

Avoid Cold: Temperatures below 50°F (10°C) can cause stress and damage, so keep it in a warm area of your home.
