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.
