Arrived overnight, looking exactly like the photos
Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.

Survived me. That's a big deal.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.

Beautiful plant, slightly smaller than expected
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.
The Syngonium Light Green, commonly known as the Arrowhead Plant, is a tropical evergreen prized for its distinctive arrow-shaped leaves. Native to rainforests across tropical regions, this plant has adapted well to indoor environments in India. Its light green foliage is vibrant and bushy, creating an attractive, branching structure that adds life to any space. As a member of the Araceae family, it shares characteristics with other popular indoor plants like the Peace Lily, but stands out for its easy-going nature and ornamental appeal. At gardengro, we offer this plant in a 4-inch nursery bag, providing a perfect starting point for your indoor garden journey.
Light & Placement
Syngonium plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions, making them versatile for various indoor settings. In India's tropical climate, it's best to protect the plant from direct harsh sunlight, especially during peak summer months, which can scorch the leaves. An ideal spot would be near an east-facing window or a few feet back from a west or south-facing window. Outdoors, place it in partial shade under the canopy of larger plants. The Syngonium's bushy growth habit makes it perfect for shelves, tabletops, or as a hanging plant where its trailing vines can cascade beautifully. Remember, the lighter the conditions, the more vibrant the leaf colour will be.
Watering & Humidity
Proper watering is crucial for the health of your Syngonium Light Green. Water the plant thoroughly when the top one inch of soil feels dry to the touch. This typically means watering every 7-10 days, but adjust based on your home's temperature and humidity levels. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Syngoniums appreciate moderate humidity levels, making them well-suited for India's climate. In very dry conditions, occasional misting or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can help increase humidity around the plant. During the winter months, reduce watering frequency as the plant's growth slows down.
Pet Safety & Toxicity
It's important to note that Syngonium plants are toxic to pets if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and throat, as well as digestive discomfort if consumed by cats, dogs, or other animals. If you have curious pets at home, it's best to place your Syngonium in an area that's inaccessible to them. For pet owners who still want to enjoy the benefits of this plant, consider keeping it in hanging baskets or on high shelves. Always wash your hands after handling the plant, especially before touching your face or preparing food.

Care steps
Check soil moisture. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Provide bright indirect light. Place near an east-facing window or in a spot with filtered light, away from direct sun.
Maintain moderate humidity. Mist occasionally or use a pebble tray in dry conditions; typical Indian homes provide adequate humidity.
Fertilize monthly. Use a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring-summer).
Prune as needed. Trim leggy stems to encourage bushier growth; cut just above a leaf node using clean scissors.
Wipe leaves occasionally. Gently wipe dust off leaves with a damp cloth to keep them clean and ensure proper photosynthesis.
Repot when root-bound. Transfer to a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining soil when roots emerge from drainage holes.
