This rare specimen is sought-after for the originality of its pastel colors. From cream to very light green, but also very significant light pink and brighter pink spots.
As in nature, all plants are different. The picture illustrates one of them !
DESCRIPTION
Origin : Tropical and moist areas (Mexico, Guatemala, Brasil...)
Personality : Killing it would be remarkable.
Earmark : Its thin delicate leaves with lots of uncommon colors (cream, green and mainly pink of course !)
Say something smart : There are more than 40 different varieties of Syngonium around the World. Grown in pots and in good conditions, they grow super fast and quickly become a true showstopper in an interior.
CARE
Which container?
A planter usually looks nice, but we recommend not to plant your new baby directly in one.
Leave it in its current pot until Spring, then ideally transfer it into a terracota pot with little drain holes when it looks cramped.
Finding its place
Brightness : Moderate to good level of brightness, as close as possible from a window but no direct sun.
Avoid letting it feel draughts near the windows and take it away from heating sources.
Humidity : 60 % or more.
Tip : Spray its leaves with water (ideally rain-water) once a week.
Tip 2 : Place some wet clay pebbles under the pot, so they keep diffusing humidity.
Temperature : Min : 15°C | Max : 30°C | Ideal : 18-22°C
Day-to-day care
Watering (purely indicative, depends on your local environment): once a week in Spring/Summer, and once every 10 days in Autumn and Winter.
Tip : Put your knuckle in the ground. If it feels totally dry, add some water to keep the soil wet (but not soaking it).
Fertilizer : Once every other week, from April to October
