Basic Care Instructions:
1. Light:
Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It can adapt to lower light conditions but will grow more slowly and may lose some of its variegation in very low light.
2. Watering:
Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
3. Humidity:
Prefers moderate to high humidity. Misting occasionally or placing the plant near a humidifier can help maintain its lush appearance.
4. Temperature:
Grows best in temperatures between 60–85°F (15–29°C). Protect from drafts, air conditioning vents, and extreme cold.
5. Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Pause feeding in the fall and winter months.
6. Repotting:
Repot every 1-2 years or when roots become crowded, using a well-draining potting mix.
7. Pruning:
Trim as needed to maintain shape and encourage fuller growth. Use the cuttings to propagate new plants.
8. Toxicity:
Keep out of reach of pets and children, as the plant is toxic if ingested.
This elegant Syngonium is a timeless addition to your plant collection, offering easy care and unmatched beauty!
