Light
Likes bright, indirect light; too little or too much light and you may lose the variegation, and too much direct sunlight will cause spindly growth.
Water
Allow the top third of the soil to dry out in between watering; always allow to drain as this plant does not like sitting in soggy soil
Humidity
Syngoniums love high humidity- they will benefit from frequent misting or the introduction of a humidity tray.
Soil
Use a moisture-retentive, well-draining mix to keep this thirsty plant happy but not too soggy.
Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.
Temperature
Average household temperatures of about 18-26°C are perfect- make sure it doesn't drop below 12°C in winter.
Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.
Sprouts Top Tips
If the tips of the leaves are browning, it is probably too dry for your plant; try misting it or making a humidity tray to increase humidity!
Was expecting a trailing plant but nonetheless, what I received is a plant with large leaves and in good condition. Much bigger than i expected. She is happy in her new home and is already pushing out and unfurling new leaves. Delighted with my purchase!

Just what I was looking for. The coir moss pole gives my monstera some much-needed support and allows it to grow upwards. I've had the pole for two weeks and the plant is already looking much happier. Thanks!
Had a desire box was ok but one plant not potted.. others very small.. rescue box from else’s where bigger plants and stronger looking
Had to grab this one as the pastel green was so pretty. There is a water resivour at the bottom to stop plants sitting in water so its perfect for orchids but at the moment I'm using it for another plant.
