Care Guide

☀️ Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light. It will tolerate medium light, though variegation is best maintained in brighter conditions. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.

💧 Water:
Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry before watering. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away. Reduce watering during the cooler months.

🌡 Temperature & Humidity:
Thrives in temperatures between 18–28°C. Enjoys moderate to high humidity but adapts well to typical indoor conditions. Keep away from cold draughts and temperatures below 12°C.

🌱 Soil:
Use a well-draining indoor potting mix enriched with perlite and orchid bark to promote healthy root growth and prevent waterlogging.

🌿 Fertiliser:
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength. Little to no feeding is required during winter.

🐾 Pet Friendly:
No. Syngoniums contain calcium oxalate crystals and are toxic if ingested by pets or people.

🌼 Growth Habit:
A compact, bushy variety that can trail or climb as it matures. Regular pruning will encourage a fuller, denser plant.
