I am a mini member of the Syngonium family which has numerous common names: Arrowhead Vine, Goosefoot Plant, African Evergreen and American Evergreen. My variegated leaves are my main attraction.
Thankfully, their unusual and delicate variegation comes through as well in person as it does in photos.
This particular Syngonium has been dubbed the Pixie, thanks to its fairytale markings and pixie-hood leaves.
Growing pot size: 12cm

How to Care for Syngonium 'Pixie'
This little Pixie is a very versatile plant and can grow in most lighting conditions. However to reach its full potential and greener leaves, place it in an area with bright, indirect sunlight. Regular, even watering is advised. Keep it in a pot with drain holes and water it thoroughly every time the top couple of inches of the soil are dry.
