- Botanical Name: Syngonium wendlandii 'Black Velvet'
- Common Names: Black Velvet Arrowhead Plant
- Description: Syngonium wendlandii 'Black Velvet' is a rare and exotic tropical plant prized for its velvety, dark green to black leaves accented by silvery-white veins. Native to Central and South America, this climbing or trailing aroid adds a touch of sophistication to indoor spaces. Its compact size and dramatic foliage make it a favorite among collectors and plant enthusiasts.
- Watering Needs: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so good drainage is essential.
- Preferred Humidity: Prefers high humidity levels of 60-80%. A humidifier, misting, or a pebble tray can help maintain optimal conditions.
- Sun Exposure: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can damage the delicate foliage. Can tolerate lower light but may grow more slowly.
- Toxicity: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, causing oral irritation, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing.
- Mature Size: Typically grows 1-2 feet tall and wide indoors. Its trailing habit can be managed with pruning or encouraged with a moss pole.
- Plant Type: Herbaceous Perennial, Climbing Aroid
- Hardiness Zone: USDA Zones 9-11 outdoors, but it is more commonly grown as an indoor plant.
