Syngonium ‘Neon Robusta’ is a beautiful, low-maintenance plant that adds a pop of colour to any space with its pink foliage. Its adaptable growth habit makes it a great option for beginners and experienced plant lovers alike, whether as a table plant or a trailing accent in a hanging basket.
Light
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vivid pink coloration.
Can tolerate lower light conditions, but the pink hue may fade, and growth may slow.
Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate leaves.
Water
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, allowing excess water to drain away.
Reduce watering in the winter when the plant’s growth naturally slows down.
Humidity
Thrives in moderate to high humidity levels.
Regular misting or placing the plant near a humidifier can help maintain moisture.
In dry indoor conditions, place the pot on a tray filled with pebbles and water to increase local humidity.
Temperature
Ideal temperature range: 16-27°C.
Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C.
Keep away from air conditioners or heaters to avoid temperature fluctuations.
Soil
Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and standard houseplant soil.
A light, airy mix helps prevent root rot by allowing proper drainage.
Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom.
Fertilisation
Feed with a balanced, liquid houseplant fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Dilute the fertiliser to half strength to avoid overfeeding.
Reduce or stop fertilising during the fall and winter months when growth slows.
Repotting
Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound.
Choose a pot that is 1-2 inches larger with good drainage.
Repotting is best done in spring when the plant is in its active growth phase.
Pruning
Prune to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushier growth.
Regularly trim back any leggy or trailing stems to keep the plant looking tidy.
Use clean, sharp scissors to remove any yellow or damaged leaves.
Propagation
Easily propagated through stem cuttings.
Take a cutting just below a leaf node, place it in water or directly into moist soil.
Keep the cutting in a warm, bright spot until roots develop, then transfer to a pot if necessary.
