No two leaves match: some come out nearly all green, some nearly all white and many split between the two.

Bright indirect light keeps the white markings clean, while strong direct sun scorches them. It is frost tender, so grow it outdoors in tropical and subtropical gardens only, and indoors in cooler climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining soil or a good quality potting mix.

Feed with a liquid fertiliser at half rate every few weeks while it establishes, then occasionally. It likes humidity, so a spritz on the foliage helps indoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning.\u003c\/strong\u003e Remove old leaves for a quick tidy up and cut back any stems that sprawl further than you want. Leaves that come out all green or all white are normal in a marbled plant. Syngonium is mildly toxic if chewed and the sap can irritate skin, so wash your hands after handling it and keep it away from pets and small children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect when it arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sell Marble as tube stock, a young plant in an 80mm deep tube that establishes quickly.
