Syngonium "Pink Perfection" Care Sheet
(For Rooted Cuttings – Terrarium & Indoor Care)
🌿 Terrarium Care
🌱 Light
- Thrives in bright, indirect light.
- Works well in low to medium-light terrariums.
- Avoid direct sun exposure to prevent overheating.
💦 Watering & Humidity
- Terrariums provide high humidity (60-90%), which encourages lush growth.
- Water lightly when the top 1-2 cm of substrate is dry—overwatering can cause rot.
- Ensure good airflow inside the terrarium to prevent mold.
🌡️ Temperature
- Ideal range: 18°C – 30°C.
- Avoid placing terrariums in areas with sudden temperature drops (e.g., near air conditioning vents).
🌱 Soil & Substrate
- Use a moisture-retentive yet airy mix:
- Coco coir or sphagnum moss
- Orchid bark for drainage
- Perlite to prevent compaction
- Add a thin layer of charcoal at the base to prevent odors.
🍃 Growth & Maintenance
- Stays compact in a terrarium but may require trimming to prevent overcrowding.
- If leaves touch the glass, trim back to maintain airflow.
- Wipe the terrarium glass if condensation builds up excessively.
🛑 Common Issues
- Yellow leaves? Too much water—reduce watering.
- Mold or fungus? Increase airflow or reduce watering.
- Leggy growth? The terrarium is too dark—move to a brighter location.
🏡 Indoor Care (Potted Plant)
🌱 Light
- Prefers bright, indirect light near an east- or north-facing window.
- Can tolerate lower light, but growth may slow, and colors may fade.
💦 Watering & Humidity
- Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry.
- Prefers humidity levels of 50-80%—use a humidifier or pebble tray if needed.
- Mist lightly if the air is very dry, but avoid soaking leaves.
🌡️ Temperature
- Ideal range: 18°C – 30°C.
- Avoid cold drafts or placing near heating vents.
🌱 Soil & Potting
- Use a well-draining potting mix:
- Peat-based soil or coco coir
- Perlite for aeration
- Orchid bark for root support
- Choose a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot.
🍃 Growth & Maintenance
- Grows as a trailing or climbing plant—provide a moss pole or trellis if desired.
- Prune to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.
- Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust and enhance photosynthesis.
🌿 Fertilizing
- Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during spring and summer.
- Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows.
🛑 Common Issues
- Yellowing leaves? Overwatering—let soil dry slightly before watering again.
- Leggy growth? Not enough light—move to a brighter spot.
- Brown tips? Low humidity—mist or increase moisture around the plant.
