The plastic pot in brown color with an aesthetically pleasing light shimmer is approximately over 6" high and 6" in diameter. Soil potting mix is from Miracle-Gro with pumice stones added (for soil aeration and to improve drainage) as well as quality compost from a local community garden layered in.
This cultivar exhibits elongated, narrow arrow-shaped leaves with multiple lobes and points as it matures (up to 9 lobes), a growth pattern that is distinct from the simple arrowhead or heart shape of juvenile Syngonium podophyllum leaves. Also included photos of a more matured plant with 7-lobe matured leaves (and still growing) to give an idea what this beauty will grow up to be.
Cash and carry only.
KEY FEATURES & FOLIAGE
Also known as 'Little Star' or 'Ribbon', this species undergoes a dramatic shift in leaf shape as it matures.
- Juvenile leaves: In its younger stage, the leaves are tri-lobed and can display a bright yellow variegation along the central vein.
- Mature leaves: As the plant grows and climbs, the foliage matures and becomes deeply lobed, producing from 7 up to 9 distinct, elongated lobes that resemble a star. This lobed form is most pronounced when the plant is given a moss pole or trellis to climb, mimicking its natural, vining growth habit. The variegated cultivar often called 'Little Star,' features creamy white streaks against a green background.
Narrow, Arrow-Shaped Leaves
- Unique elongated foliage with pointed tips adds a refined, architectural look to any plant collection or indoor space. If allowed to climb a support it will produce mature foliage with up to nine distinct lobes
Striking Variegation
- Features vibrant patterns of creamy white and lime-to-emerald green marbling, offering bold contrast and visual interest.
Compact & Climbing Growth
- Naturally vining and fast-growing, ideal for trellises, moss poles, or trailing gracefully from hanging pots and shelves. A prolific grower and will become fuller plants when trimmed back.
Low Maintenance & Beginner Friendly
- Tolerates a range of lighting conditions and requires minimal care—perfect for plant parents of all experience levels. It can live a long time without fertilizer too. Likes to dry out 2in between waterings when potted in soil. Water roughly every 7-10 days. It will grow faster and maintain its vibrant coloring and markings if grown in medium to bright indirect light. No direct sun. Do note that it is toxic to animals if ingested.
Air-Purifying Plant

Rare Collectible Variety
