What is a Pink Syngonium

A Pink Syngonium is a type of arrowhead vine grown for pink variegated or fully pink foliage. It prefers bright indirect light, a well-draining aroid mix, and watering only when the top inch of soil is dry. Keep humidity moderate, fertilize lightly in the growing season, and avoid direct sun to prevent leaf burn.

Pink Syngonium care checklist

• Light: Bright indirect. Keep out of harsh direct sun.

• Water: When the top inch to two inches is dry. Never leave soil soggy.

• Soil: Well-draining aroid mix that breathes.

• Humidity: Average home levels are fine. More humidity supports larger leaves.

• Feeding: Monthly during spring and summer at half strength.

• Training: Trail in a hanger or climb a moss pole or trellis.

• Cleaning: Wipe leaves monthly to support photosynthesis and shine.

Light requirements for pink syngonium

Place your plant in bright indirect light. South or west windows should be filtered with a sheer curtain. East windows are excellent. Lower light slows growth and reduces pink color. Direct sun burns leaves, especially pale variegation.

Watering schedule that works

Water when the top layer of soil is dry to the touch. Pour until water drains from the holes, then empty the saucer. Signs you are overwatering include yellowing and leaf drop. Signs you are underwatering include crispy brown tips and droop that does not perk up quickly after watering.

Simple watering rhythm

1. Check soil with a finger each week.

2. If the top inch to two inches is dry, water thoroughly.

3. Let the mix drain completely.

4. In winter, lengthen the gap between waterings.

Best soil and pot choice

Use a chunky aroid blend that drains well and resists compaction. A breathable pot with drainage holes prevents root rot. Repot when roots circle the pot or the plant pushes up new offsets and becomes crowded.

Humidity and temperature

Average indoor humidity is fine, and a little extra humidity is welcome during very dry months. Keep temperatures in a comfortable home range and away from drafts or heat blasts. Stable conditions help leaves expand and keep color.

Feeding and growth

Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted general houseplant fertilizer. Do not fertilize during winter rest. Rotate the pot once a month so growth stays even. Clean leaves with a soft cloth to remove dust.

Training to trail or climb

Pink Syngonium will happily trail in a basket or climb a moss pole, hoop, or trellis. Climbing can produce larger, more arrow-shaped leaves over time. Use soft ties and guide new growth upward.

Fast fixes for common issues

• Pale color or slow growth: Increase bright indirect light.

• Yellow leaves and mushy petioles: Water less often and improve drainage.

• Brown crispy tips: Water a bit more consistently and raise humidity.

• Scorched patches: Move out of direct sun.

• Leggy stems: Pinch to branch and provide a support to climb.

Propagation made easy

Take a stem cutting just below a node. Remove the lowest leaf so the node can sit in water or directly in moist, airy mix. Keep in bright indirect light. Roots form in a few weeks. Pot up once roots are a couple of inches long if starting in water.
