Care Guide:
🌊 Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Reduce watering in winter but never let the soil dry out completely.
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate medium light conditions. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the delicate leaves, while low light may slow growth.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Protect it from cold drafts, air conditioners, and sudden temperature changes.
🌱 Soil Mix: Use a well-draining, airy mix such as a blend of potting soil, orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss to retain moisture while preventing root rot.
💦 Humidity: Loves high humidity levels of 60% or more. If indoor air is dry, mist the plant occasionally, place it near a humidifier, or use a pebble tray to maintain humidity.
🌿 Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
⚠️ Toxicity: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested due to calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
With its elegant, frosted heart-shaped leaves and climbing habit, Syngonium Chiapense ‘Ice Frosted Heart’ is a striking yet easy-to-care-for plant that adds a touch of tropical beauty to any indoor space.
