The five-lobed shape of Syngonium podophyllum / Goosefoot leaves represents the 5 elements of Feng Shui; water, fire, earth, wood and metal. Thus, it perfectly balances the Yin and Yang energies and stimulates chi or positive energy. It also cleans the air. It has what is inspiring; energy of the ‘ascending’ wood, which is associated with the east or southeast. Place it on a table or workstation to let your spring spirit; dawn, youth and new ideas help in inspiration. Syngonium is an easy-care plant and well adapted to indoor environments. Its dark green leaves have silvery white, green or pink or cream variegation, making it a decorative and popular houseplant. Syngonium plants are not only decorative, they have the ability to purify the air, breathe and act as anti-pollutants.
These plants can reduce the components of indoor air pollution, even volatile organic compounds, such as benzene, formaldehyde, toluene and xylene. They also reduce airborne microbes and increase humidity. Syngoniums absorb pollutants in their leaves, and the toxins go to the root area, where they are transformed into nutrients for the plant. Household plants also emit water vapors that help the plant pull polluted air into its roots, where the plant converts toxins into plant food. Light: strong light, but without direct sunlight. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves. It can tolerate low light, but the leaves can lose their variegation. Turn the pan regularly for even growth.
Water: Keep the potting mix moist in the summer, allowing the surface to dry before watering again. Water less often in the winter, leaving the top half of the potting mix to dry. Moisture: Please spray the plant as soon as possible with water to remove any dirt.
