Syngonium Pixie care guide
Light requirements:
Thrives in bright, indirect light but will also tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid harsh midday sun which can scorch its leaves.
Watering:
Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Allow excess water to drain and never let it sit in soggy compost.
Feeding:
Feed once a month in spring and summer. We recommend our vegan, organic Original Plant Food, specially designed to support strong root and leaf growth.
Humidity:
Enjoys normal household humidity but appreciates occasional misting, especially in warmer months.
Pet safety:
Toxic if ingested — keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and small children.
Propagation:
Easily propagated from stem cuttings placed in water or directly into soil.
