Syngonium Neon Robusta tolerates medium light conditions, but it grows better with lots of bright, indirect sunlight. A couple of hours of light per day help this plant to maintain its vibrant variegated colors. Low light conditions may strip off its pink hues, while scorching sunlight might burn the leaves.
Syngonium Neon Robusta is perfect for people with busy schedules, as it is mildly drought tolerant. This plant enjoys some moisture in the topsoil but it also tolerates short periods of dry soil when you do not have time to water it. Water thoroughly and let the soil dry out between waterings.
This plant prefers moist, loose, well-draining soils, which you can make by adding some peat moss or perlite to a houseplant soil mix.
Syngonium Neon Robusta thrives in temperatures between 60°F-80°F. It does not like temperatures below 50°F. This plant loves warm temperatures and high humidity. The average household humidity level (40-50%) is enough for Syngonium, but this plant loves high humidity (about 60%), so mist your plant often and use a humidifier when the weather is dry.
This houseplant should be fertilized once per month during spring, summer, and fall with diluted houseplant fertilizer.
This plant has calcium oxalate crystals and it is toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of curious children and pets.
