Syngonium Green Splash Care
Light Requirements
Syngonium Green Splash thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, the growth may slow down, and the vibrant splashes may diminish. Ideally, position your plant near a window that receives filtered sunlight.
Watering
Water your Syngonium when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure that excess water drains out of the pot to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. In general, this plant prefers to be kept slightly moist but not soggy.
Humidity and Temperature
This tropical plant enjoys higher humidity levels, ideally between 50% and 70%. To maintain humidity, you can mist the leaves regularly or use a humidity tray. As for temperature, Syngonium Green Splash prefers a range of 15-29°C (60-85°F). Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Soil
A well-draining potting mix is essential for the Syngonium. A mixture containing peat, perlite, and orchid bark works well, ensuring good aeration and drainage.
Fertilising
Feed your Syngonium during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertiliser every four to six weeks. Reduce fertilisation in the autumn and winter months, as the plant's growth will slow down.
Pruning
Regular pruning helps maintain the desired shape and encourages bushier growth. Remove any yellowing or damaged leaves as needed.
Pest Control
Keep an eye out for common pests such as spider mites, scale, and mealybugs. If detected, treat them promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
By adhering to these care guidelines, your Syngonium Green Splash should thrive, providing vibrant foliage and a touch of greenery to your space.
