Spotlight on Maria Allusion
Syngonium podophyllum or the Arrowhead
plant is a simple but elegant and versatile houseplant. Syngonium can be grown easily as
a compact bushy looking plant, or you can accept its creeping, climbing nature
and grow it tall up a moss stick. Syngonium podophyllum is a species
of aroid, and commonly cultivated as a houseplant. It
is typically grown for its attractive ornamental foliage which changes shape as
the leaves mature. Juvenile leaves (to 5.5” long) are ovate with heart-shaped
bases and sometimes with silver variegation. Leaves mature to arrow shape.
Later leaves become pedate (to 14” long), each with 5-11 leaflets. Tiny green
to greenish-white flowers on a spadix are surrounded by a greenish-white spathe
(to 4.5” long). Flowers are born in groups in the leaf axils. Flowers give way
to brown-black berries. Plants rarely flower in cultivation. Many cultivars have been developed; some have
beautifully variegated foliage flushed with white, cream, silver, pink, or
purple.

Wandering Jew
Known as Wandering Jew or inch plant, Tradescantia zebrina is an easy and fast-growing plant appreciated for its lovely leaf coloration, which can vary from deep purple to bright green. Its non-fussy nature and colorful foliage make it a great choice for both beginners and more experienced plant lovers.
Tradescantia
zebrina are trailing plants that have oval leaves roughly 2 inch long, with an
iridescent upper surface and a rich purple underside. Two glistering stripes of
silvery green surrounding a medium green central portion run the length of the
upper surface of its pointed-oval leaves. They produce clusters of small, three
petaled flowers in spring and summer. They are purple-pink coloured. Flowers rarely appear on indoor plants. Leaf
nodes along the stem are purportedly one inch apart, hence the common name.
