It wasn’t as full or pink as I thought

I normally don’t buy plants online, and was worried it would show up dead. Boy did they prove me wrong! Took about 6 days to ship, and arrived wonderfully packaged, labeled and everything. But the foliage? Beautiful. The pot is incredibly full of stems with large leaves and plenty of new growth. Talk about a healthy plant! Used a pink perfection (not from this shop) as a size reference. Same-sized pots, same price. And this plant only came with one yellow leaf. I think I know where I’m spending my money again. Yes, the foliage is mostly green with some faded pink splashes. Colorful Syngonium varieties like these tend to be fiends for bright indirect light and don’t pop without it. Furthermore, it seems like this specific variety doesn’t like to show off super pink and white variegation until mature. So, the faded look is a-okay with me! I’m happy with my purchase here, especially considering how many leaves I got. Suffice to say I plan on buying here again for all my tropical houseplant needs. 🙂
