Red Arrow Syngonium Basic Care: Easy

Watering: Allow the top 1 inch of soil to dry between waterings. Water thoroughly and avoid allowing the soil to remain soggy or become completely dry.

Light: Prefers bright to medium indirect light. Brighter light promotes fuller growth and enhances the foliage's rich coloration. Avoid direct afternoon sun.

Soil/Drainage: Plant in a loose, well-draining houseplant mix. A standard potting mix amended with perlite or orchid bark provides excellent drainage.

Temperature/Humidity: Thrives in temperatures between 65–85°F with average to high humidity. Higher humidity promotes larger leaves and healthier growth. Protect from temperatures below 60°F.

Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding during the cooler months.

Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound. Provide a moss pole or trellis if you want the plant to climb and develop larger, more mature foliage.

General Tips: Rotate the plant regularly for even growth, wipe the leaves occasionally to remove dust, and prune long vines to encourage fuller growth. Stem cuttings root easily in water or soil, making propagation simple.
