Care Guide

Care Guide:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can cause the variegation to fade, while low light may reduce the intensity of the colors.

Ideal Room: Suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, or offices with bright, indirect light. Also thrives in rooms with moderate to high humidity.

Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring to summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity, so misting regularly or placing the plant on a humidity tray is beneficial.

Ideal Temperature: Best kept between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C) to protect the plant from cold damage.

Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage, as overwatering can lead to root rot.

Pet/Child Safe: Toxic to pets and children if ingested. Keep out of reach to prevent accidental poisoning.

Soil Type: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for aroids, or a mix with peat, perlite, and orchid bark for optimal drainage.

Propagation: Propagate by stem cuttings. Place the cuttings in water or moist soil until roots form.

Eventual Height and Spread: Can grow up to 3 feet (90 cm) tall and 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) wide under optimal conditions.

Growth Rate: Moderate growth rate, particularly during the warmer months when given sufficient 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. Choose 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 fuller, bushier growth.

Air Purification: Known for its air-purifying qualities, Syngonium 'Panda' helps remove harmful toxins like formaldehyde from the air.

Folklore: Syngonium plants are believed to bring good fortune and positive energy into the home, making them a popular choice for promoting harmony in indoor spaces.
