Glinda | Syngonium ‘Pink Splash’

Meet Glinda

Glinda does not need to announce her power.

She carries it quietly, with grace, confidence, and the unmistakable sense that she already knows far more than she is saying. Elegant without being fragile and kind without being naive, she has the sort of presence that makes a room feel different the moment she enters it.

Syngonium ‘Pink Splash’ was chosen for that same balance of softness and strength. Its arrow-shaped leaves are brushed with blush pink and muted green, each one slightly different from the next. The coloring is delicate, but the plant itself is vigorous, adaptable, and quick to grow when given the right conditions.

Inspired by Glinda from L. Frank Baum’s Oz stories, this botanical companion reflects the character as she appears in the original books: wise, powerful, composed, and deeply capable. Her beauty may be the first thing noticed, but it is hardly the most important thing about her.

Glinda is not simply ornamental.

She is the one you want in the room when everything has gone wrong.

Plant Care

Botanical Name: Syngonium podophyllum ‘Pink Splash’

Common Name: Pink Splash Arrowhead Plant

Light: Bright, indirect light helps maintain the plant’s pink coloration. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sun.

Water: Allow the upper portion of the soil to begin drying between waterings. Keep the soil evenly moist without leaving the roots waterlogged.

Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity is appreciated, though the plant can adapt to typical indoor conditions.

Temperature: Warm indoor temperatures are preferred. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Growth: Syngoniums are naturally climbing and trailing plants. As Glinda matures, she may be allowed to cascade or trained upward on a support.

Pet Safety: Syngoniums contain calcium oxalate crystals and are considered toxic if ingested by cats, dogs, or other pets.
