Syngonium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, native to tropical rainforests in southern Mexico, the West Indies, Central and South America.

Plant care

☀️ Syngonium are the perfect houseplants for people with little to no plan care experience. These plants are extremely low light tolerant; they will grow faster and maintain their vibrant coloring and markings if grown in medium to bright indirect light. Direct sun will scorch the leaves, try moving the plant closer to the light source during winter months we recommend you rotate the plant every time you water them.

💧 Allow your Syngoniums soil to dry out partially between watering, if left dry for too long the lower leaves will dry up and turn brown. This is an easy fix, soak the soil and let the plant rehydrate, do not over water as you can waterlog the plant.

🌡 This plant will do well in most household temperatures we recommend 60-80 degrees, they do not do well in temperatures 50 degrees or less. Keep away from drafts and doorways during winter. Syngonium enjoys average household humidity 40-50% is adequate, it can also benefit from humidity over 60%.

✨ These plants should be fertilized during the spring and summer with half strength complete liquid fertilizer twice a month, you can also use a slow-release fertilizer or top dress with worm castings or compost in early spring.

☠️ Syngonium are toxic if ingested to both humans and pets. We recommend keeping out of reach from small children and pets.
