Hailing from the rainforests of South America, Syngonium is a genus of subtropical climbers that have weaved their way into many homes (and hearts). S. podophyllum is arguably the most popular species, though – in its mature form – it’s often too big for most terrariums. That’s where the ‘Pixie’ comes in! This adorable dwarf variety remains true to the Arrowhead Vine name with its signature arrow-shaped leaves, but it stays small, compact, and fabulous. Making the Syngonium Pixie perfect for terrariums and equally small spaces in the home. It’ll thrive in bright, indirect light but also manage fine in low to medium light settings, too (though it may lose some vibrancy/variation). Remember, unlike the green leaves, the creamy white parts of the plant can’t photosynthesize. So, if your particular plant has an abundance of variegation, then you can expect it to struggle in shade conditions.
