synandrospadix

Synandrospadix vermitoxicus are a little unusual when it comes to watering. Though they are not a drought tolerant plant species, they do not tolerate overwatering. Water the Synandrospadix vermitoxicus only as needed when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. Depending on temperature and the humidity levels, watering may be needed as often as once per week or as infrequently as once every 2 to 3 weeks. During fall and winter months, they may require even less water and should be given plenty of time to dry out between watering cycles.

Synandrospadix vermitoxicus, also known as White Torch, prefers to be kept in an area with bright, indirect sunlight. This species of plants prefers to receive direct sunlight for 6-7 hours a day during the spring and summer months, and should be kept out of direct sunlight during the hottest parts of the day. During the winter months, direct sunlight exposure should be decreased to 3-4 hours a day, primarily in the early morning or late afternoon. This helps the plant from getting too much sunburn and provides the adequate amount of light during the colder months.

The Synandrospadix vermitoxicus, or better known as the cleaner plant, is a hardy tropical plant that is easy to prune. This low-maintenance plant requires general pruning to keep it healthy and encourage new growth. Prune the cleaner plant in the early fall when growth is at its peak. To keep the plant healthy, prune back branches and stems that are dead, damaged, or crossing over each other. Trim off any brown or wilted leaves, and prune the plant to encourage it to branch out and fill in any areas of the plant that you want to be fuller. Prune the cleaner plant annually for best results.
