- The included Houseplant Soil Mix is a lightweight, nutrient-rich blend of materials for moisture retention, combined with perlite and coarse sand for excellent drainage and aeration. Its balanced pH and natural amendments, such as coarse peat and perlite create the ideal environment for healthy roots while mimicking the plant's native habitat, ensuring quick water flow to prevent overwatering.
- Ideal Light Conditions: The Syngonium Black Velvet thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate low light, the plant’s dark foliage requires sufficient light to maintain its striking appearance. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this may cause the leaves to scorch.
- Watering Requirements: Water the plant when the top 1–2 inches of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure that the pot has good drainage. During the growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, while in the fall and winter, reduce watering to allow the plant to rest.
- Physical Characteristics: The Syngonium Black Velvet is characterized by its velvety dark green to nearly black leaves, accented by striking silver veins. The arrowhead-shaped foliage is glossy and leathery, adding texture and visual interest to any room.
- Temperature Tolerance: This plant prefers temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). It should be kept away from drafts, air conditioners, and heating vents to prevent stress. The Syngonium Black Velvet is not frost-tolerant and should be kept indoors in colder climates.

Testimonials





Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
