🌸 Syngonium Pink Plant (Syngonium podophyllum ‘Pink’)

The Syngonium Pink Plant is a charming tropical aroid admired for its soft pink, arrow-shaped leaves and easy-going nature. Native to Central and South America, this adaptable plant makes a lovely indoor accent, bringing a splash of delicate color and lush greenery to any space. With proper care, it thrives as a compact tabletop plant or trailing beauty in hanging baskets.

🔆 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight enhances the pink variegation and encourages healthy growth.

• Tolerates: Medium light and partial shade.

• Avoid: Direct, harsh sunlight — it can bleach or scorch the delicate leaves. Prolonged low light may cause fading and leggy growth.

💧 Watering Guidelines

• When to Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering.

• Frequency: Typically once a week indoors, adjusting based on season and humidity.

• Important: Do not let the plant sit in water — overly soggy soil can lead to root rot.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix — a blend of peat, perlite, and compost works well.

• Pot: Choose a container with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging and encourage healthy root growth.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength.

• Avoid: Fertilizing in fall and winter when growth slows naturally.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Trim back leggy stems to maintain a compact shape and encourage fuller growth. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves.

• Repotting: Every 1–2 years, or when roots begin to crowd the pot. Refresh soil at repotting for continued vigor.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier, especially in dry indoor climates.

• Temperature: Thrives between 18–26 °C (65–79 °F). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15 °C (59 °F).
