Product Details
＋Light: Syngoniums prefer bright, indirect light. However, they are fairly adaptable and can tolerate some direct sun (although too much can scorch the leaves) and low-light conditions (although the colors might not be as vibrant).
Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Ensure the plant isn't sitting in water as this can lead to root rot. They prefer consistent moisture but don't like to be overly wet.
Humidity: They like higher humidity but can tolerate average household humidity. If you notice the leaf tips turning brown, it might be a sign that the humidity is too low.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one with a bit of peat moss or coco coir to retain some moisture.
Temperature: They prefer temperatures between 60°F and 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows down.
Propagation: Syngonium can be propagated through stem cuttings. Snip off a segment that has at least one or two leaves, let the cut dry for a few hours to a day, then place it in soil or water until roots develop.
Pruning: Regularly prune your Syngonium if it gets too leggy or if you want to encourage a bushier growth.
Pests: Watch out for common houseplant pests such as aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs. Regularly inspect the plant and treat as needed.
Repotting: Repot when the plant becomes root-bound or the soil seems exhausted.
Remember, the exact care might vary slightly based on the specific cultivar or variety of Syngonium you have. Always adjust care based on the specific needs of your plant and the conditions in your home.
