Know before you buy
While it is a natural climber that will grow larger leaves if given a moss pole, it is equally happy trailing from a hanging basket or shelf. You can choose the display style that best fits your space.
You can increase humidity by grouping it with other plants, placing it on a pebble tray with water, or keeping it in a bathroom with a window. If your home is particularly dry, a small humidifier nearby will help keep the velvety leaves looking their best.
No, the Syngonium wendlandii is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
This means the plant should be placed in a spot where it can see the sky but not the sun. A few feet away from a bright window or behind a sheer curtain is ideal, as direct sunlight can scorch its delicate, velvety leaves.
Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. Because it prefers consistent moisture, try not to let the soil dry out completely, but ensure your pot has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the roots.
