25 - 35cm Syngonium Tricolour Red Spot Arrowhead Plant 14cm Pot House Plant
Syngonium 'Tricolor Red Spot' is a vibrant, easy-to-grow houseplant that brings a pop of color to any indoor space. Its unique three-colored foliage, marked with spots of red, makes it a distinctive addition to your indoor plant collection. Here's a detailed guide to caring for it:
Light: The Syngonium Tricolor Red Spot prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light levels, but its variegation will be more vibrant with more light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Water: This plant prefers its soil to be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Drain excess water to avoid root rot.
Humidity: Being a tropical plant, the Syngonium Tricolor Red Spot enjoys higher humidity levels. You can achieve this by placing a humidifier nearby, grouping it with other plants, or placing it on a tray of pebbles filled with water.
Temperature: It thrives in temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). Avoid placing it near drafty windows or air conditioners as it is sensitive to cold drafts.
Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix that retains some moisture. An equal mix of potting soil, peat moss, and perlite works well.
Feeding: Fertilize once a month during the growing season (spring through summer) with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
Pruning and Training: To maintain its bushy appearance, regularly prune long vines. This also encourages more compact growth.
Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Always use a pot with drainage holes.
Propagation: The Syngonium Tricolor Red Spot can be propagated through stem cuttings placed in water or directly into soil.
Remember, all plants can show signs of distress differently. If your plant isn't thriving, try adjusting one care aspect at a time to understand what it might prefer.
