In a semi-shade environment, the leaves are tender and glossy, the veins are clear, and the leaf color is dark green. If the light is too strong, it is easy for the leaf color to become dull, eventually causing sunscald, rough leaf surfaces, grayish-white leaf color, blurred veins, and sometimes scorched spots on the leaf surface; but if the light is too weak, it is also prone to leggy growth, and the plant grows slender and is prone to lodging.

2. Syngonium podophyllum
