Plant Care Needs

• ☀: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Can tolerate low light conditions, but avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

• 💦: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, typically every 7-10 days during the growing season. Reduce watering frequency in winter. 

• 🪨: Well-draining potting mix is essential. Use a standard indoor potting mix or a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite. Luxuriously Moist Tropical Soil Blend is what we recommend!

• 🌡️: Thrives in average room temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

• ☁: Prefers moderate to high humidity levels. Mist the leaves regularly or use a humidifier to maintain humidity, especially in dry indoor environments.

• ✂️: Easily propagated from stem cuttings. Cut a healthy stem below a node and place it in water or moist potting mix until roots develop.

• ⚖: Low maintenance. Suitable for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.

• 💭:

• Prune regularly to maintain the plant’s shape and to encourage bushier growth. Pinch off leggy stems to promote new growth.
• Clean the leaves periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and prevent pests.
• Syngonium White Butterfly is toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of pets and children.
• The plant’s variegation may fade if exposed to too much direct sunlight or if it receives insufficient light. Adjust its placement accordingly to maintain the vibrant foliage.
