Exposure & placement

The Syngonium Neon appreciates Partial shade with bright indirect light to maintain its vibrant neon pink color. Too little light will fade the color.

• Exposure: Partial shade, bright indirect light, avoid direct sun that burns the leaves.
• Ideal: bright shelf, office, living room, bedroom or bathroom with window.
• Temperature: 18 to 25 °C, without sudden variations.
• Substrate: light, rich and well-drained, universal potting soil with perlite.

Verdeia tip: the brighter the light (without direct sun), the more intense and bright the neon pink color will be.

Watering & care

• Watering: moderate; let the substrate dry on the surface between waterings.
• Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, reduce in winter.
• Drainage: essential — use a pot with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
• Humidity: appreciates 50-70% humidity, mist occasionally or place near other plants.
• Fertilizer: once every 2-4 weeks in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
• Size: pinch the stems to encourage a bushier and more compact shape.

New leaves are intense neon pink and evolve towards a soft green with pinkish shades — this is normal and creates a beautiful gradient effect.
