Returns Simplified.Syngonium Red Heart is a stunning and compact variety of Syngonium podophyllum, celebrated for its soft pink, heart-shaped foliage and delicate, pastel charm. A native of the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, this plant belongs to the Araceae family and brings a romantic, calming beauty to any indoor collection.
Unlike other Syngonium varieties that develop lobed leaves as they mature, Red Heart retains its rounded, heart-shaped form making it a favourite among collectors for its uniform, blushing leaves. The foliage is an enchanting mix of dusty rose and peachy-pink tones, with subtle green undertones near the veins. Compact, elegant, and easy to care for, Syngonium Red Heart is perfect for tabletops, desks, and smaller spaces where its colour and texture can truly shine.
Soft yet vibrant, this pink-toned beauty brings warmth and serenity to interiors a living expression of balance and grace.
Thrives in bright, indirect light, which maintains its pink colouring and healthy growth. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause them to turn greener. East- or north-facing windows are ideal. It can tolerate lower light but will grow slower and lose vibrancy.
Keep the soil lightly moist, watering when the top 23 cm feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as Syngonium Red Heart prefers a consistent rhythm of moist (not soggy) soil. Ensure the pot has drainage holes and reduce watering slightly in winter when growth slows.
Temperature: Prefers warmth between 1828 C. Avoid temperatures below 15 C and protect from cold drafts or heaters.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity (5070%) enhances leaf colour and prevents crisping edges. Mist occasionally, use a humidifier, or group with other tropical plants.
Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive mix ideally compost combined with perlite and coco coir. This provides steady hydration while preventing root rot. Repot every 12 years in spring to refresh nutrients and allow room for growth.
Feed every 46 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser. Over-fertilising can cause leaf discolouration, so apply sparingly. Pause feeding during autumn and winter.
Trim away older or yellowing leaves to maintain a neat shape and stimulate new growth. Rotate the plant occasionally for even light exposure. Wipe leaves with a soft, damp cloth to keep them clean and enhance their natural sheen.
A compact and moderately fast grower, Syngonium Red Heart typically reaches 3050 cm in height and spread indoors. It remains more compact than climbing Syngonium types, maintaining a bushy, symmetrical form. With age, it may develop longer petioles and a more graceful, arching habit.
Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.
Faded colour: Insufficient light.
Crispy edges: Low humidity or underwatering.
Pests: Occasionally affected by spider mites or aphids; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Originating from the tropical forests of Central and South America, Syngonium Red Heart is a cultivar bred for its rare, consistent pink tones and compact size. Like other Syngoniums, it symbolises personal growth and positive energy making it a meaningful addition to home and workspace environments.
