| This plant lives with me since more than 15 years, got it from cuttings at a friends place.
He called it his "survival-plant" because he had it in his hallway just in a vase with water and only indirect light. Well - it does grow either in water/vase and also potted in soil (photo). I took many cuttings from it over the years... The leafs are green - without any other colors. The pics show the color quite exactly. It does well on a shady and also on a fully sunny (morning till noon) windowshelf. I wonder if someone can tell me about this plant - if it is a Syngonium? what sort???

| The collective vein on the perimeter of the blade indicates it is a Syngonium. Color has little to do with a genus or species since it is variable from plant to plant. Once this plant mature the shape of the blade will totally change. This link explains why. |
