Velvet Syngonium (Syngonium rayii)

Who said houseplants need bright colours to get noticed? Meet Velvet Syngonium, a gorgeous little plant with deep green, almost black leaves and a striking silver vein running down the centre.

And that foliage really is something! The leaves have a soft, velvety finish that gives this Syngonium a completely different appearance from the more familiar Arrowhead Plants.

Naturally a climber, Syngonium rayii can be grown with a small support or allowed to trail as its stems develop. It appreciates bright indirect light, warmth and a little consistency with watering, but doesn't need a complicated care routine.
