Syngonium - Syngonium podophyllum
Bright, indirect light is ideal; tolerates lower light but growth slows and variegation fades.
Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry between waterings; avoid waterlogging.
Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound; best done in spring.
