Learn to grow and care for the stunning Syngonium Milk Confetti with this comprehensive guide. Discover tips on watering, lighting, and propagation for a thriving houseplant.

Light To maintain the stunning variegation and encourage healthy growth, your Syngonium Milk Confetti needs bright, indirect light. Think of the dappled light it would receive under the canopy of a rainforest. A spot near an east- or west-facing window, filtered with a sheer curtain, is ideal.

Soil A well-draining potting mix is crucial. The ideal soil should retain moisture without becoming waterlogged, allowing the roots to breathe and preventing root rot. A good mix combines potting soil, orchid bark, peat moss, perlite, and coco coir in equal parts.

Temperature As a tropical plant, the Syngonium Milk Confetti thrives in warm temperatures and humid environments. Ideally, keep the temperature between 65-85°F. Avoid placing your plant near cold drafts or air conditioning vents, as sudden temperature fluctuations can stress the plant.

Humidity  Syngoniums will flourish in a more humid environment. If your home is particularly dry, especially during the winter, you can increase humidity around your plant by grouping it with other plants, placing it on a pebble tray filled with water, or using a humidifier.

Watering  Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering is a common mistake that can lead to root rot, a serious condition that can be fatal to your plant. During the winter months, when growth slows down, reduce watering frequency.

Fertilizing  During the growing season (spring and summer), your Syngonium Milk Confetti will benefit from regular fertilization. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer formulated for houseplants, diluted to half the recommended strength.
