Description:
Syngonium podophyllum 'Milk Confetti' is an exquisite variety of the popular arrowhead plant, known for its delicate pink variegation that adorns its soft, light green, arrow-shaped leaves. A member of the Araceae family, this plant is a fast-growing, vining species that brings a touch of elegance to any indoor space. Its unique foliage, featuring small patches of colorful variegation, makes it a standout addition to plant collections, especially for those seeking a subtle pop of color.

The Milk Confetti variety is highly adaptable and thrives in a range of indoor environments.
