How to Care for Your Syngonium 'Merry'

Place your Syngonium 'Merry' in a bright room with filtered sunlight to highlight its soft pink tones. Use a well-draining potting mix and water when the topsoil starts to feel dry. This plant prefers moderate humidity and consistent warmth, thriving in typical indoor conditions.

Prune to maintain a compact shape or allow it to trail as it matures. Fertilize once a month in spring and summer using a diluted houseplant fertilizer to encourage colorful new growth.
