Plant Care.
Light:
- Syngonium Pink thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but to maintain its pink variegation, it’s best to provide it with ample indirect sunlight.
- Avoid direct sunlight, which can lead to leaf scorch.
Watering:
- Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, but ensure that the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
- During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, and reduce the frequency during the dormant winter months.
Humidity:
- Syngoniums appreciate higher humidity levels. Mist the plant occasionally, use a humidity tray, or keep it in a room with adequate humidity to maintain moisture in the air.
Temperature:
- Maintain room temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Syngonium Pink can tolerate slightly cooler conditions but should be protected from frost and extreme cold.
Soil:
- Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for indoor houseplants. A mix of potting soil, perlite, and peat moss or coconut coir is suitable.
Fertilizing:
- Feed your Syngonium Pink with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through summer). Reduce or halt fertilization in the dormant winter months.
Pruning and Maintenance:
- Prune your plant as needed to maintain its shape and remove any leggy or yellowing growth. Pinch back the tips to encourage bushier growth.
Support:
- Syngonium Pink is a vining plant, so it can benefit from support like a trellis, stake, or other suitable climbing aids. This will help it maintain its desired shape.
Potting:
- Choose a pot or container with drainage holes, and repot your Syngonium Pink when it becomes root-bound or outgrows its container, typically every 2-3 years.
Toxicity:
- Syngonium Pink is considered mildly toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of children and pets.
Syngonium Pink is a delightful and colorful houseplant that can add a touch of elegance to your indoor spaces. With proper care and attention to its specific needs, it will thrive and continue to brighten your home or office décor with its lovely pink foliage.
