Syngonium neon, also known as Syngonium podophyllum 'Neon,' is a popular houseplant cherished for its vibrant foliage and easy care requirements. It is a tropical plant native to Central and South America and belongs to the Araceae family characterized by its arrowhead-shaped leaves. The plant starts with smaller, more heart-shaped leaves when young and develops into its distinctive arrowhead shape as it matures. The neon green coloration adds a delightful pop of brightness to any indoor space.

• Light Requirements: Syngonium neon thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a north or east-facing window where it can receive filtered sunlight. Avoid exposing the plant to direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
• Temperature and Humidity: This plant prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (15-26°C). It appreciates moderate to high humidity levels, so misting the leaves occasionally or placing the pot on a tray filled with water and pebbles can help create a humid microenvironment.
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Ensure proper drainage by using a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes.
• Fertilization: Feed your Syngonium neon with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength to avoid overfeeding, as this can lead to leaf burn.
• Pruning: Syngonium neon has a vine-like growth habit. Regular pruning can help maintain a bushier shape and prevent it from becoming too leggy. Trim back any leggy or excessively long stems to encourage new growth.
• Potting and Repotting: Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one to allow for root growth. Repot your Syngonium neon every 1-2 years during spring, using a well-draining potting mix suitable for houseplants.
• Pest Control: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. If you notice any infestation, gently wipe the leaves with a damp cloth or use an insecticidal soap according to the product instructions.

Remember to avoid placing Syngonium neon in drafty areas or near cold windows during winter, as it prefers consistent temperatures. With proper care, your Syngonium neon will thrive and continue to display its vibrant neon foliage, adding a touch of tropical beauty to your indoor space.
