Syngonium Podophyllum Albo Variegata – Ø 6cm

Care/Details

The Syngonium Podophyllum Albo thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Direct sunlight should be avoided to prevent damage to the delicate variegated foliage. It prefers slightly moist soil and should be watered when the top inch of soil feels dry. It appreciates higher humidity levels, so occasional misting or placing it near a humidifier can be beneficial.

Environment – Syngonium plants prefer a well-lit environment but should be kept away from direct sunlight, especially during months with intense sunshine. They can thrive in temperatures ranging from 18 to 30 degrees Celsius. If possible, providing a humid environment for the plant is beneficial. You can achieve this by placing the plant in a room with higher humidity or using a lukewarm water mist on the leaves once a week.

Watering – Water your Syngonium once a week, ensuring that you do not overwater. Allow the plant to absorb all the water within a few hours. If there is any excess water remaining in the pot, make sure to pour it out. For midsize pots (around 10-12 cm in diameter), try watering with 100-200 ml of water. For mini plants (around 6 cm), 50 ml of water should be sufficient. As the days pass, observe the soil moisture level, and only water when the top layer of soil begins to dry up. In such cases, you can wait a day or two before watering again.

Leaves care – It is normal for older or outer leaves of Syngonium plants to turn yellow over time. Before removing any yellowed leaves, make sure the leaf stem has loosened slightly from the plant. Be gentle when removing them to avoid causing harm to the plant. If you notice the leaves dripping, it could be a sign of overwatering or high temperatures, among other factors. Adjust the watering frequency or the plant’s placement if necessary.

Fertilizer – Feed your Syngonium with fertilizer once a month during the spring and summer seasons when they are actively growing. During winter, when the plant’s growth slows down, it is not necessary to fertilize since the plant will not absorb the nutrients as readily.
