Syngonium ‘Red Heart’ babyplant

Syngonium ‘Red Heart’ is a houseplant appreciated for its decorative leaves, having a distinctive salmon pink shade combined with greenish tones, especially on the edges. It belongs to the family Araceae and is a variety of the species Syngonium podophyllum.

Main features:

• Arrowhead-shaped leaves (arrowhead) – typical characteristic for Syngonium, but in this variety, the leaves have a special pale pink shade that becomes more intense under suitable light conditions.

• Spectacular color – young leaves are predominantly pink, and as they age, they may acquire slight greenish tints.

• Compact and climbing growth – initially, the plant grows compactly, but over time it can become a climbing plant, needing support to grow vertically.

Care:

• Light: Preferably strong indirect light, but can tolerate partial shade. Too much direct light can cause leaf discoloration.

• Watering: Water moderately, allowing the substrate to partially dry out between waterings. It is sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

• Humidity: Loves high humidity, so occasional misting or using a humidifier can be beneficial.

• Temperature: Grows well between 18-25°C, avoiding exposure to temperatures below 10°C.

• Soil: Well-drained, aerated substrate, such as a mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark.

Benefits:

• It is an easy-to-care-for plant, suitable for beginners.

• Helps purify the air by absorbing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene.

Syngonium ‘Red Heart’ is an excellent choice for plant lovers who want to add a splash of color to their collection, being a decorative and versatile plant.
