Care Guide

  • Care Guide:
  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause leaf burn.
  • Ideal Room: Suitable for small spaces like tabletops, windowsills, or offices with indirect light and moderate humidity.
  • Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring to summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
  • Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Mist regularly or place on a humidity tray to encourage better growth.
  • Ideal Temperature: Best kept between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from temperatures below 50°F (10°C) to prevent damage.
  • Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure proper drainage to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
  • Pet/Child Safe: Toxic to pets and children if ingested. Keep out of reach to avoid accidental poisoning.
  • Soil Type: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for aroids, or a mix containing peat, perlite, and orchid bark for optimal drainage.
  • Propagation: Propagate by stem cuttings. Place the cuttings in water or moist soil until roots develop.
  • Eventual Height and Spread: Typically grows up to 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) tall and wide, making it an ideal small houseplant for tight spaces.
  • Growth Rate: Moderate growth rate, particularly during the warmer months when given proper light and care.
  • Pests and Treatment: Watch for pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
  • Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot with proper drainage to avoid water accumulation.
  • Pruning: Prune dead or damaged leaves regularly to maintain the plant’s appearance. Pruning can also encourage bushier growth.
  • Air Purification: Known for its air-purifying qualities, Syngonium 'Mini M' helps remove toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene from the air.
