Description

Borneo Swords or Syngoniums are stunnning plants ideal for terrariums and paludariums bringing a touch of the exotic to any indoor garden. Native to tropical Southeast Asia, they thrive in humid environment and adapt well to both aquatic and semi-aquatic conditions. 

Sysgoniums are known for their arrow-shaped leaves, which come in various colours and patterns. They prefer temperatures between 20°C and 28°C (68°F to 82°F) and pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. These hardy plants require moderate light and regular watering keeping the soil moist but waterlogged. In a paludarium, they provide shelter for small aquatic creatures and help maintain water quality by absorbing excess nutrients, preventing algae growth. 

For a lush, thriving environment, pair Borneo Swords with other humidity-loving species like ferns and mosses. Regular pruning will manage their growth and keep your setup neat. Overall, these plants are a beautiful and functional addition to any terrarium or paludarium.
