Syngonium mix

How to use the Syngonium Soil Mix

Using the mix is easy!  start with removing as much of the old soil as possible. Gently squeeze the pot while holding it sideways to loosen up the plant. Run the roots under lukewarm tap water to remove the last pieces and bits. 

Also, make sure to remove any dead foliage that may still be on the plant using scissors. Now your plant is ready for its fresh Syngonium soil. Add a small layer of Syngonium mix at the bottom of the pot.

Place the plant in the pot, and slowly add Syngonium soil to the sides to fill it up. Make sure that the point where the roots meet the plant is just buried under the Syngonium soil. 

Lightly pat the Syngonium mix down into the pot. Make sure to water the Syngonium mix thoroughly after repotting, as this helps settle the mix and roots down.

Why the Syngonium mix works. 

The combination of pumice, coco husk, and perlite creates an airy substrate that gives the roots the oxygen they crave. As Syngoniums thrive in humid environments, there is extra activated carbon added to help against the heightened risk of mold and negative microbial presence. The perfect Syngonium mix!

The original habitat of the Syngonium plants

Like Alocasia, Calathea & Maranta, the Syngoniums come from tropical forests with well-draining, moist and fertile soil. They grow under the canopy in Central America and prefer shadier conditions to thrive. This Syngonium mix mimics that habitat.

How to care for Syngonium plants

Syngonium care is pretty similar to other aroid care, but they are a little fussier. They prefer warm temperatures and high humidity. Do make sure to spray your Syngonium once in a while if you live in a dry area. 

Syngonium requires a bit more water than regular aroids, be sure to not let your Syngonium mix dry out too much. Place your Syngonium in a bright, indirect spot and you will be sure to have a happy plant!
