Good Luck Air Purifying Pink Syngonium

Appearance: Syngonium features heart-shaped leaves that can vary in color, including shades of green, cream, and pink. The leaves often have distinctive white or light green veins and can grow quite large, depending on the variety.

Growth Habit: This plant is a climber and can be grown as a trailing plant or allowed to climb up a support, like a moss pole or trellis. It tends to have a bushy appearance when kept compact.

Varieties: There are several varieties of syngonium, including Syngonium podophyllum, which is the most common, and cultivars like ‘White Butterfly,’ ‘Pink Allusion,’ and ‘Confetti,’ each with unique leaf patterns and colors.

Light Requirements: Syngonium thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. However, insufficient light can lead to leggy growth and less vibrant leaf colors.

Watering Needs: It prefers consistently moist soil but should not be overwatered. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

Humidity: Syngonium enjoys higher humidity levels but can adapt to average household humidity. Misting the leaves or placing the pot on a pebble tray can help maintain humidity.

Temperature: The ideal temperature range is between 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C). Protect it from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Care Requirements: Syngonium is relatively low-maintenance, requiring occasional fertilization during the growing season (spring and summer) and periodic pruning to maintain shape and encourage bushiness.

Air Purifying: Like many houseplants, syngonium is known for its air-purifying qualities, helping to filter toxins from the air.

Toxicity: Syngonium is mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so it’s best to keep it out of reach of children and animals.
