Syngonium care guide
Syngonium podophyllum
Easy care⚠️ 🐾
Syngonium (Syngonium podophyllum) does best when watered about every 5 days. Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry out before watering again; adjust the rhythm to season and light.
Place it in bright indirect light. Humidity needs are high, and it appreciates misting roughly every 4 days. The comfortable temperature range is 18–26°C. During the growing season, feed it about every 30 days.
Care difficulty: easy — great for beginners.
⚠️ Pet safety: Syngonium is toxic to cats and dogs. Calcium oxalates. Keep it out of reach, and if your pet chews it, contact a vet.
