Syngonium 'Pink Splash' Care
Syngonium Pink Splash
Overview
- Charming arrowhead-shaped leaves with splashes of bubblegum pink
- Compact and adaptable, perfect for shelves or hanging baskets
- Easy to care for with moderate light and consistent moisture
- Best grown on a moss pole to encourage upright, full growth
Syngonium Pink Splash is a uniquely variegated cultivar of the classic arrowhead vine. Its soft green foliage is marbled with unpredictable patterns of vibrant pink, giving it a playful, painterly charm that stands out in any collection.
Origins
Originally native to Central and South America, Syngoniums are tropical climbers found beneath the rainforest canopy, where they trail and climb in the humid understory.
Light Requirements
- Bright, indirect light is ideal to maintain vibrant pink variegation
- Can tolerate lower light but may lose some color intensity
- Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the delicate leaves
A spot near an east- or north-facing window is perfect.
Watering
- Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy
- Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings
- Water less frequently during cooler months
Watch for drooping leaves as a sign it’s ready for a drink—but it usually perks back up quickly.
Humidity
Moderate to high humidity preferred. Regular misting, a pebble tray, or nearby plants can help maintain a healthy microclimate. This plant can tolerate average indoor humidity but thrives in more humid conditions.
Soil
Aroid Mix — Use a well-aerated blend of coco coir, perlite, bark, and compost to support both moisture and drainage.
Fertilizer
Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Skip feeding during winter when growth slows down.
Preferred Growing Method
Moss pole. While often grown freeform, Syngonium Pink Splash takes on a more mature, lush form when given vertical support like a moss pole, encouraging larger leaf development and denser foliage.
Final Notes
This eye-catching pink cultivar is low-maintenance and full of personality. Whether you’re just starting your plant journey or adding to an established indoor jungle, Syngonium Pink Splash brings cheerful color and easygoing charm to any space.
