CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Light: Prefers bright conditions with an indirect view of the sky. Avoid direct sunlight, which can fade or scorch leaves.

Water: Keep soil lightly moist, allowing the top 25% to dry out between waterings. Reduce frequency in winter months.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; occasional misting or grouping with other plants helps maintain ideal moisture levels.

Temperature: Keep between 65–80°F (18–27°C). Avoid cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer using a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer. Suspend feeding during fall and winter.

PET SAFETY

⚠️ Not pet-friendly. Syngonium contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause irritation if ingested by pets or humans. Keep out of reach of curious paws and hands.
