Exposure & location

The Syngonium Arrow likes indirect light and the softness of filtered spaces. It is an adaptable plant, perfect for bright corners without direct sun or rooms facing east/north.

• Soft and diffuse light, tolerates partial shade.
• Ideal in a living room, bedroom, or office.
• Avoid direct sunlight that can burn the leaves.
• Ideal temperature: between 18 and 26 °C.
• Tolerates moderately heated interiors in winter well.

Verdeia Tip: place your Syngonium on a shelf or hang it near a bright window. With a foam stake, it will gladly climb to form dense and harmonious foliage.

Watering & maintenance

The Syngonium Arrow is easy to care for and forgives small forgetfulness. It likes slightly moist soil, without excess water. Its foliage also appreciates regular ambient humidity, especially during hot periods.

• Water when the soil surface becomes dry (about once a week).
• Space out watering in winter (every 7 to 10 days).
• Lightly mist the foliage to recreate its tropical climate.
• Avoid stagnant water at the bottom of the pot.
• Remove overly long stems to encourage branching.

Verdeia tip: excess water can be more harmful than a slight lack — always favor well-drained soil.
