How to care for your Godzilla Syngonium

It needs water when it's completely dry.

HUMIDITY

Your Syngonium does well in house humidity.

TEMPERATURE

It does well in temperatures between 60-80 degrees.

FOOD

It likes to be fed monthly or every other month with some general indoor plant fertilizer.

PET- FRIENDLYNESS

It's harmful to pets if ingested.

Additional Tips*

If you are looking for that bushy look, cut regularly since this plant sends out runners like crazy.
