1. Light: Syngonium prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. In lower-light situations, the plant may grow more slowly and have less vibrant foliage.
2. Watering: Water the plant regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. In winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant's growth slows down.
3. Soil: Use a well-draining, fertile potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants or a blend of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well.
4. Temperature: Syngonium thrives in warm temperatures, ideally between 60-80°F (16-27°C). It is sensitive to cold temperatures and should be protected from drafts and frost.
5. Humidity: This plant enjoys higher humidity levels. Regular misting or placing a humidity tray nearby can help maintain the required moisture in the air, especially in dry indoor environments.
