Delivery and arrival help Ships free within the continental U.S. from a greenhouse in Florida or California, carefully packed in its nursery pot with soil. Dispatched within 1–4 business days, Monday to Wednesday so plants don't sit in transit over a weekend; standard transit is typically 3–7 business days after that. Heat packs are not included automatically: in cold weather (below about 45°F at the destination) add Winter Plant Shipping Protection to your order, and in extreme cold or heat we may hold the order until it is safe to ship — we will let you know. If it arrives dead, severely damaged, or significantly different from the description, email photos of the plant and packaging to info@shopfloridaplant.com within 48 hours of delivery for a full refund or a free replacement ( refund policy ). Give your plant a few days to settle in; minor cosmetic marks from transit are normal. Care and common questions Light: Bright, indirect light keeps Syngonium 'Moonshine' looking its best, but it can tolerate medium indirect light. In lower light it grows more slowly. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry — it likes to dry out a bit between waterings rather than stay soggy. Empty any saucer so the roots don't sit in water. Humidity: Loves higher humidity as a tropical aroid, but adapts to normal household humidity; extra humidity supports lush, healthy growth. Temperature: Typical room temperatures (roughly 65–85°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and heating or AC vents. Soil: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix (potting soil with bark and perlite) in a pot with drainage. Support: Give it a moss pole or trellis to climb — climbing encourages larger, more mature leaves. Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter. Pruning: Trim to shape anytime; stem cuttings with a node root easily in water. Care tip: If leaves stay small or sparse, give it more bright indirect light and a pole to climb. How often should I water Syngonium 'Moonshine'? Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.

Why are my Syngonium 'Moonshine' leaves yellowing or staying small? Check the potting mix first. If it is still wet days after watering, the roots are sitting in soggy soil — let the top 1–2 inches dry out, make sure the pot drains, and water less often. If the mix is dry and the leaves are small or pale, it wants more bright, indirect light. If neither fits, think about recent changes: a move, a draft, or a cold window.
