Description
Syngonium podophyllum 'Neon Robusta' is a fascinating and versatile plant from the tropical rainforests of South America that is ideal for keeping in terrariums. As a member of the arum family (Araceae), it is characterised by its striking leaf colouring and adaptability to different environmental conditions. 'Neon Robusta' prefers high humidity, which is typical of its natural habitat, and thrives best in bright, indirect light. Its ability to grow in both shadier areas and under stronger lighting makes it an ideal choice for various terrarium settings. Care is straightforward as it is adapted to a wide range of temperatures and requires regular watering, but waterlogging should be avoided.
In the terrarium, 'Neon Robusta' can serve as a visual accent not only through its vibrant leaf colour, which ranges from bright pink to neon, but also through its interesting leaf shape, which can be arrow-shaped to heart-shaped and appears increasingly lobed as it grows. Although flowers are rare on this plant in terrariums, when they do appear they can provide an added attraction. The flowers consist of a white spadix surrounded by a pale spathe, which provides an attractive contrast to the brightly coloured leaves. Their characteristics such as easy propagation by cuttings, tolerance to high humidity and ability to improve air quality make them an excellent addition to terrariums, supporting not only the aesthetics but also the well-being of other terrarium inhabitants.
