Syngonium Three Kings

4-6 inches

Syngonium plants prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate low light conditions, but may not grow as vigorously or produce as many leaves. Direct sunlight can cause the leaves to yellow or burn, so it's best to avoid placing the plant in a location where it will receive direct sunlight. A north-facing window or a location near an east or west-facing window can provide the bright, indirect light that the plant prefers. If you don't have a location with bright, indirect light, you can provide artificial light with fluorescent or LED light. Place the plant within a few inches of the light source and leave the light on for 12-16 hours per day.

When it comes to watering Syngonium plants, it's important to strike a balance between keeping the soil consistently moist and avoiding over watering.

A good rule of thumb is to wait until the top inch of soil is dry before watering. This can vary depending on the humidity and temperature of your home, so it's a good idea to check the soil moisture level regularly.

When you do water, be sure to water thoroughly so that the entire potting mix is moistened. Allow the excess water to drain away through the drainage holes.

It's also important to make sure the soil is not staying waterlogged, which can lead to root rot. If the soil is staying too wet, you should adjust your watering schedule or repot the plant into a well-draining potting mix.

In general, it's better to underwater than overwater. They also prefer humidity, so you can also mist the leaves or place the pot on a tray of wet pebbles to increase the humidity around the plant.

The ideal growing media for Syngonium plants is well-draining, nutrient-rich soil that is high in organic matter. A potting mix that is formulated for tropical plants or houseplants would be suitable. You can also use a mix of equal parts peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
