Syngonium angustatum

A widespread climbing Syngonium from Mexico to Panama with deeply divided, shining green leaves, now naturalised in Florida, the Caribbean, Brazil and Pacific islands. Specimens come from evergreen, seasonally flooded and even deciduous forest as well as roadsides and secondary growth, so it is tolerant and easy. It wants warmth, bright indirect light and something to climb.
