Container
Here’s a handy guideline: increase pot size by 2.5-5 cm (1 to 2 inches) in diameter for plants that are growing in pots 25.4 cm (10 inches) in diameter or less. For larger plants, those growing in pots greater than 10 inches in diameter, increase the pot size by 5 or 7.62 cm (2 or 3 inches) in diameter.
Additional
Crystals of calcium oxalate are present in all parts of this plant body. These are highly toxic to humans and animals. Ingestion may lead to health issues like allergy, salivation and ulceration of mouth, lips and throat. Thus, we always recommend keeping your pets and kids away from the Syngonium plants.
