Syngonium Pixie care guide

Watering:
Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Allow excess water to drain and never let it sit in soggy compost.

Feed once a month in spring and summer. We recommend our vegan, organic Original Plant Food, specially designed to support strong root and leaf growth.

Humidity:
Enjoys normal household humidity but appreciates occasional misting, especially in warmer months.
