Special Characteristics:

The standout feature of Syngonium 'Milk Confetti' is its soft, muted variegation with flecks of pink that can range from pale blush to vibrant splashes. The more light it receives, the more prominent the pink hues tend to be. Like other Syngoniums, it starts as a compact plant but will develop a climbing habit over time, making it a great candidate for a moss pole or hanging basket.

Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its subtle variegation. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause the pink speckles to fade.

• Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering in cooler months.

• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity levels, ideally above 60%. A humidifier, pebble tray, or regular misting can help maintain the best conditions.

• Temperature: Best grown in temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Avoid exposure to temperatures below 55°F (13°C) and keep away from cold drafts.

• Soil: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix. A blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark provides good aeration and moisture balance.

• Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

• Pruning & Training: Prune to encourage bushier growth and remove any yellowing or damaged leaves. Can be trained to climb or left to trail naturally.

• Propagation: Easily propagated through stem cuttings. Cut below a node, ensuring at least one healthy leaf is attached, and root in water or moist soil.

• Pests & Problems: Generally pest-resistant but may attract spider mites, mealybugs, or aphids. Overwatering can lead to root rot, while low humidity may cause leaf browning.

Difficulty Rating: Easy. Syngonium 'Milk Confetti' is a low-maintenance plant that offers stunning foliage with minimal effort, making it perfect for beginners and collectors alike.
