How to care for a Syngonium Albo

Syngonium Albo is a beautiful and unique plant that is a perfect addition to any home or office. Here are some tips to help you take care of your Syngonium Albo.

Light

Syngonium Albo prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can burn the leaves, while too little light can cause the plant to become leggy and lose its variegation.

Water

It is important to keep the soil of your Albo moist, but not soggy. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. During the winter months, reduce watering to prevent overwatering.

Soil

Syngonium's prefer a rich airy soil, we make our Syngonium Saturday potting mix in house, but you can concoct a similar mix at home using orchid bark, small perlite, compost, worm castings and horticultural charcoal. Your Syngonium Albo will thrive with a little room to grow around his roots

Humidity

Syngonium Albo loves high humidity, so it is recommended to mist the leaves regularly or place the plant on a pebble tray filled with water. This will help prevent the leaves from drying out and becoming brown around the edges.

Fertilizer

During the growing season, Syngonium Albo benefits from regular fertilization with a balanced fertilizer every four weeks. Avoid fertilizing during the winter months.

Propagation

Syngonium Albo can be propagated through stem cuttings or by division. Cuttings should be taken from the top of the plant and rooted in sphagnum moss, water, or a well-draining potting mix. Divisions should be made when repotting the plant and can be potted up separately. You can read a more complete description of the process in our guide to Syngonium propagation

With proper care, your Syngonium Albo will thrive and bring beauty to your space for years to come!
