Growing notes

Grows to 1.5-2.5 metres. Space about 50-100cm apart. At its best in summer.

Toxic to pets

Syngonium is harmful to people and pets if any part is eaten, and its sap irritates skin and eyes. Wear gloves when cutting it, keep sap away from your face, and keep the plant out of reach of children and pets. Get medical advice if a person has swallowed any, and contact a vet if a pet has.
