Exposure & placement

The Syngonium Golden appreciates bright indirect light to maintain its radiant golden foliage. Avoid direct sun which burns the delicate leaves.

• Exposure: bright indirect light, tolerates partial shade.
• Ideal: bright shelf, hanging planter, desk, living room, or east- or north-facing windowsill.
• Temperature: 18 to 27 °C, without sudden changes.
• Substrate: light, rich, and well-drained, potting soil for tropical plants with perlite.

Verdeia tip: the more indirect light the Syngonium Golden receives, the more golden and radiant its foliage will be. In low light, it becomes greener.

Watering & care

• Watering: moderate; let the top 2-3 cm of substrate dry out 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: prefers 60-70% humidity, mist regularly or place near other plants.
• Fertilizer: once a month in spring-summer with diluted liquid fertilizer for green plants.
• Size: prune overly long stems to encourage branching and maintain a compact habit.

Syngonium can be grown as a climbing plant on a stake or as a trailing hanging plant — choose the style that suits you.

Decor ideas & plant pairings

With its bright golden foliage, the Syngonium Golden brings a touch of tropical freshness and brightness to your urban jungle. It creates an elegant bright focal point.

• To pair with: Pothos, Philodendron, Monstera, other Syngonium or dark foliage plants to create a spectacular contrast.
• Ideal pot: decorative pot in matte ceramic (white, grey, black, terracotta) or macramé hanger to highlight the golden foliage.
• Ambiance: perfect hanging, on a shelf, desk, windowsill, or as a bright accent in a plant arrangement.

The golden foliage creates a spectacular luminous effect that brightens spaces and beautifully contrasts with dark green foliage plants.
