The new Queen of Window sills will replace Monster? The florist reveals how to care for her

It is a phenomenal pot plant, but it is characterized by free growth. It also happens that for a long time it does not release new leaves, and even dies when we forget about it for a moment. That’s why let’s try to replace this Syngonium specimen. Check the most important information about him, and maybe soon he will appear in your home.

Syngonium, also called ravine, is a climber that grows naturally in tropical forests of South and North America. In our climate it is treated as a potted plant. It stands out from other heart -shaped specimens, slightly fantastic leaves. Depending on the variety, it can have a green, cream, yellow and even pink color.

Zjlicha is also characterized by a long, climbing or creeping stem. It is very interesting that the plant releases the main shoots from the side buds when it stops growing and new inflorescences will appear.

This plant has many species and varietieshowever, several types are most often grown. Symbonium is the most popular. We include:

• Syngonium White Butterfly – It has light green leaves with darker edges. In places we can see a white color;
• Syngonium Arrow – at home it can grow up to 1 m. His leaves are green and have white innervation;
• Syngnonium Neon Robusta – it is characterized by slightly pink leaves;
• Syngonium Pixie – his leaves are small, green and have a creamy discoloration inside;
• Syngonium white variegata – he has fibrous, white and green leaves with a variegated discoloration;
• SYNGONIUM Seas – His leaves come in different color variants – from dark green to lively green.

Syngonium is an ideal pot for beginners. Even people who do not have a “hand” for flowers will cope with it. So how do you take care of this specimen?

Syngonium is best placed in partial shade. Directly falling sun rays could burn its delicate leaves. In addition, this plant likes moist air, so it can become a bathroom decoration.

This specimen should have a fertile earth with acidic pH. It should also be permeable, which is why it is recommended to make drainage, e.g. from expanded clay and perlite. It is also worth adding compost or peat to the soil. Then we will not have to fertilize the plants.

We water the symbonium quite often, but with a small amount of soft water. It is worth buying special water dispensers for him, e.g. decorative balls. Thanks to them, we do not have to remember about irrigation.
