Hey there! Syngonium wendlandii 'Black Velvet' is a gorgeous plant. Here are some care tips for your 'Black Velvet':

1. Light: Place your 'Black Velvet' in a spot with bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but for optimal growth and leaf color, provide it with bright, filtered sunlight.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering. Syngonium wendlandii 'Black Velvet' prefers slightly moist soil, but be careful not to overwater. It's best to water it sparingly and adjust based on the humidity of your environment.

3. Humidity: This plant loves high humidity, so consider placing it near a humidifier or misting its leaves with water regularly. You can also place a tray filled with water near the plant to increase humidity.

4. Temperature: Syngonium wendlandii 'Black Velvet' thrives in temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). Keep it away from drafts and extreme temperature fluctuations.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark works well.

6. Fertilizer: Feed your 'Black Velvet' with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for the proper dosage.

7. Trimming: If your 'Black Velvet' starts to get leggy or loses its compact shape, you can trim it back to encourage bushier growth.

Enjoy caring for your beautiful Syngonium wendlandii 'Black Velvet'! 🌱😊
