5 Steps to Growing Syngoniums:
-
Select the Right Pot: Choose a well-sized container with effective drainage to accommodate growth and ensure health.
-
Use Quality Indoor Plant Mix: Start with a layer of premium Tui Indoor Plant Mix to provide the ideal growing conditions.
-
Optimal Lighting: Place your Syngonium in a spot with bright, indirect sunlight to encourage vibrant growth without the
risk of sunburn.
-
Regular Watering: Maintain lightly moist soil, adjusting your watering routine with the seasons to match the plant's needs.
-
Consistent Feeding: Boost your plant's health with a monthly application of a balanced, general-purpose fertiliser.
In-Depth Syngonium Care:
Syngoniums, with their semi-tropical nature, come in an array of forms from compact to trailing, and a stunning colour palette from lush greens to soft, dusty pinks. Known for their forgiving nature, they're an excellent choice for novices. These dynamic plants can start compact but love to spread out and climb or trail with a little support.
Prepare:
A flourishing Syngonium starts with healthy soil. Select a free-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix like Tui Indoor Plant Mix to provide a strong foundation. Ensure your pot is size-appropriate and has adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging.
Plant:
- Water your Syngonium thoroughly before repotting.
- Partly fill your pot with the Tui Indoor Plant Mix, position your plant, then fill in with additional mix, leaving space at the top.
- Firm the mix gently around the plant, ensuring it sits at the original soil level.
Light:
Syngoniums flourish in moderate to bright, indirect sunlight. The ideal placement in your home or office ensures they grow fast and maintain their striking colours.
Nourish:
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during warmer months, slightly drier in winter.
- Feeding: Utilize Tui Indoor Plant Mix's initial nutrients, then supplement with Tui Enrich Pour & Feed Indoor Plant Liquid Fertiliser bi-monthly for vibrant, healthy growth.
Common Problems:
Combat pests like aphids, thrips, and mealybugs with Tui Indoor Plant Insect Spray. Apply as needed, focusing on early detection and regular treatment for the best defense.
Pet-Friendly Advice:
Remember, Syngoniums are considered toxic when ingested. Keep them out of reach from pets and children to avoid any risks.
