Syngonium ‘Pink Splash’ – The Blush-Stroke Arrowhead
Syngonium ‘Pink Splash’ is one of the most playful and expressive variegated Syngoniums, known for its soft green leaves splattered, brushed, or streaked with bright pink. Sometimes it’s a delicate dusting, other times a full bold splash across half the leaf — unpredictable, lively, and full of character. It’s the kind of plant that surprises you with every new leaf it produces.
Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, Syngoniums are naturally adaptable understory climbers, happy in warm, shaded environments. The ‘Pink Splash’ form carries all that hardiness but adds a layer of colour that makes it a favourite among collectors and anyone building a colourful indoor jungle.
Why You Need It
The pink variegation is the star of the show. Depending on light levels, it ranges from soft baby pink to brighter coral tones, and the contrast against the green background makes each leaf look hand-painted. This plant feels energetic, modern, and genuinely fun to grow.
It’s also an easy, forgiving plant that suits beginners as much as collectors. The variegation remains stable, the growth is steady, and it adapts well to typical household humidity. Because the splash pattern is never identical from leaf to leaf, you get a plant with real personality and variation.
How It Grows
Syngonium ‘Pink Splash’ grows as a compact, bushy plant when young, gradually developing climbing tendencies as it matures. With a moss pole, the leaves become larger, the pink becomes more expressive, and the arrowhead shape develops into a more dramatic, mature form.
It prefers bright, indirect light for the strongest colouring, though it will tolerate softer conditions. Allow the top layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings, and use a well-aerated mix to keep the roots happy.

Final Word
Syngonium ‘Pink Splash’ is a lively, colourful, and easy-going plant that brings a burst of pink to any room. Every leaf is different, every splash tells a new story, and good quality specimens disappear quickly. If you want a reliable variegated plant with effortless charm, this is one to grab while it’s available.

The following aroid mix I would like to share with you is working well for my Philodendrons:
- Potting Soil (30%)
- Orchid Bark (30%)
- Perlite (30%)
- Charcoal (5%)
- Worm Castings (5%)
Water thoroughly when watering to mimic tropical jungle conditions. It is best practice to keep the soil humid but never soggy.
