Syngonium Orm Nagpum Variegated

Syngonium 'Orm Nagpum Variegata' is a rare, eye-catching cultivar of Syngonium podophyllum, prized for its beautiful variegated arrow-shaped leaves that may feature mixes of white, mint, light green, and creamy tones. It shares care needs with other Syngoniums but needs some extra attention due to its variegation.

Here’s a detailed care guide to help it thrive:

🌿 Syngonium 'Orm Nagpum Variegata' Care Guide

☀️ Light

• Bright, indirect light is ideal.

• Variegated Syngoniums need more light than solid green ones to maintain their variegation.

• Avoid direct sun — it can burn the lighter areas of the leaves.

• Too little light may cause loss of variegation.

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feels dry.

• Likes evenly moist soil but is sensitive to overwatering.

• Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot.

• Reduce watering slightly in cooler months.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Prefers 18–27°C (65–80°F)
  

• Enjoys moderate to high humidity (ideally 60%+).

  • You can boost humidity with:

    • Humidifier

    • Pebble tray

    • Grouping with other plants

🌱 Soil

• Use a well-draining, chunky soil mix.

  • Ideal mix: potting soil + perlite + orchid bark or coco chips.

  • Optional: Add charcoal for extra aeration.

🍽️ Fertilizer

• Feed once a month during growing season (spring–early autumn).

• Use a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

• Do not fertilize in winter or during dormancy.

🪴 Repotting

• Repot every 1–2 years or when roots fill the pot.

• Best time to repot: early spring before new growth flushes.

✂️ Pruning & Propagation

• Prune to shape or encourage bushier growth.

• Propagation is easy via stem cuttings in water or moist sphagnum moss.

  • Cut below a node and keep at least one leaf per cutting.

  • Provide warmth and humidity for best rooting.
