Syngonium Neon, also called the Neon Pink arrowhead plant, is loved for its soft bubblegum-pink, arrow-shaped leaves that mature to a paler pink-green. Compact and bushy when young, it later sends out trailing or climbing stems that can be trained on a small moss pole. Easy to grow and fast to fill out, it thrives in bright indirect light and average indoor warmth, making it one of the most popular pink houseplants. Its blush tones bring a soft, cheerful accent to desks, shelves and bathrooms. A forgiving plant, it suits beginners and adds gentle colour to any indoor green collection.

Growing tips
In India give Neon bright indirect light to retain its pink; in dry-season heat raise humidity by grouping plants or using a pebble tray, and avoid direct sun that fades the colour.
