Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and allow excess water to drain away.
Humidity: Syngonium plants thrive in high humidity but can adapt to average indoor humidity levels. Mist the leaves occasionally or place the plant on a humidity tray to increase moisture levels.
Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Protect the plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil works well for Syngonium plants.
Fertilization: Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer) every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or stop fertilization during the dormant winter months.
Pruning: Regularly prune to maintain the desired shape and size of the plant. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves to encourage new growth.
With proper care, Syngonium plants can thrive indoors and bring joy with their lush foliage and air-purifying qualities.
