4" Syngonium Wendlandii

Syngonium Wendlandii Care Tips:

1. Light:

Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light but will grow more slowly and may lose some of its vibrant variegation. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

2. Soil:

Use a well-draining potting mix that includes a combination of soil, perlite, and orchid bark. Avoid using peat moss as it can retain too much moisture, increasing the risk of root rot.

3. Watering:

Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has proper drainage and avoid leaving the plant in standing water.

4. Humidity:

Syngonium Wendlandii enjoys moderate to high humidity. Aim for 50% or higher. Consider misting the plant or placing it near a humidifier in drier environments.

5. Temperature:

Prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C). Keep it away from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

6. Fertilization:

Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding during the fall and winter when the plant's growth slows.

7. Pruning & Maintenance:

Prune leggy growth to encourage bushier growth and maintain shape. Trim yellow or damaged leaves as needed. Wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust.

8. Propagation:

Propagate by stem cuttings or division. Take a cutting just below a node, place it in water or moist soil, and wait for roots to develop.
