Syngonium Merry

Meet my dear Syngonium Merry! This sweetie is an evergreen perennial native to Central and South America. It grows large, thin, heart-shaped leaves in a variety of vibrant colors. This particular variety is a dark green-red color. Now, let me tell you how to take care of this beauty.

Lighting: Syngonium Merry loves bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, so keep it in a spot with plenty of natural light but not directly in the sun's rays.

Watering: Water your Syngonium Merry when the top inch of soil feels dry. Don't overwater, dearie, or the roots might rot. And don't underwater, or the leaves will wilt. Just keep the soil consistently moist.

Humidity: This plant thrives in humid environments. You can increase the humidity around your plant by placing it on a tray filled with water and pebbles or using a humidifier.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogged soil. A mix with peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite works wonders.

Fertilizer: Feed your Syngonium Merry with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid burning the roots.

Temperature: Keep your plant in an area with a consistent temperature between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Avoid placing it near drafts, air conditioning vents, or extreme temperatures.
