Syngonium Strawberry Milk 8cm

🌿 Syngonium ‘Strawberry Milk’ Care Guide

Syngonium ‘Strawberry Milk’ is one of those plants that seems almost too colourful to be real. Fresh leaves emerge in soft shades of blush pink, cream and gentle green, with every leaf developing its own unique mix of colours. As it matures, it naturally begins to climb if given support, rewarding you with larger foliage and an even more impressive display. It’s a plant that changes constantly, making every new leaf something to look forward to.

☀️ Light

• Enjoys a bright position with plenty of filtered natural light.
• Gentle morning sunshine is beneficial, but avoid strong afternoon rays.
• Good lighting helps maintain the soft pink and cream variegation.
• Too little light may encourage greener growth.

💧 Water

• Water when the top couple of centimetres of soil feel dry.
• Keep the soil evenly moist without becoming waterlogged.
• Ensure the pot drains freely after watering.
• Ease back slightly on watering during winter.

🌫️ Humidity

• Appreciates moderate to high humidity.
• Extra humidity encourages larger leaves and helps new growth unfurl cleanly.
• Keep away from radiators and cold draughts to avoid stressing the foliage.
• It grows happily alongside other tropical plants where the air is naturally more humid.

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 2–4 weeks during spring and summer.
• Use a balanced liquid fertiliser at half the recommended strength.
• Pause feeding during the colder months while growth slows.

🌱 Quick Tips

• 🌿 Place in a bright, well-lit room with filtered light.
• 💧 Water once the top of the soil begins to dry.
