Thank you so much for great info on "pests" with this plant.Just purchased 3 and never heard of thrip. Immediately stopped the video, went to check, and sure enough all 3 had it. I took them right then and there to the shower (wrapped the pot in plastic bags as not to overwater them) and sprayed tops and bottoms. Then immediately suscribed to your channel😂. I watched two other videos prior to yours but yours had more thorough info. I also checked the other plants I bought at the same time with the syngonium and found that they had pests as well. I did a quick check when I brought them home but the plants look so perfect. that I didn't see a problem until I listened to your video.
So sorry you found pests but glad I could help you out💚
Just bought my first one today and I knew I could find everything I was looking for as far as care, on your channel. Thanks for the wealth of information!
Glad to help!💚
Own a crap load! I love the allusion series (always available here in Florida). I have 7 or 8 different varieties. ❤Thanks for the info. I feel much better about my care practices. For some reason, they survive in my bedroom great. But nowhere else in the house.... I've had many many failures just to get to that point. 😅
I just found your channel and you are a very good plant teacher! Presently, I have 4 syngonium in my collection. My pixie was almost dead, so I put it a planter outside with a group of other plants. It tripled in size so now it's in an individual pot but still outside and out of direct sun. I'm rehabbing a gold allusion from Lowe's. My splurge is a pink splash and it is a 3 inch pot and already lobed. My first syngonium was a Maria and it hasn't grown very much.
Thank you! That’s so cool that your pink splash is already lobed!
I have snow white synogonium ..it has been the most finicky plant for me to grow personally... I ended up chucking most of the plant except one that had some decent roots left but on the small side ended up putting it in a small vase with leca and water and it's been doing well but I think it's at the point where I need to get it into some soil for it to really grow.... Your video has given me some confidence about this plant hopefully it'll work out lol
Thanks for such a thorough coverage of the topic. Very helpful
You’re welcome!
Binging on your videos! I have a confetti and a mango which honestly looks like a Maria to me. Oh, and I totally just repotted the confetti and loosened roots. Oops. You do a great job with your videos. I hope your channel keeps growing.
Thank you!
❤❤❤ Love Syngonium
I love the Little Star plant so different !!!
Very informative, thanks for sharing 💕
You’re welcome!
SUPER helpful!!! Thanks for all the advice! ❤
You’re welcome💚
Thanks for sharing ❤
You’re welcome!
I'm so glad I saw your video. I had a one of these at work that had gotten huge. I, like you, don't care for the Vining. The one at work is growing down the back of my desk and looking very leggy. Now I know I can prune it back. Thank you!
I really like your videos and enjoy watching them ✌🏻 i love plants too i have 17 plants in my room and i still want more 😂😂 even if I don't have place anymore because i'm living in a sharing apartment in Germany 😅 keep going. I wanted to ask you about calathea (rattle snake) i don't know why the leaves are curving, the soil is always moist the humidity is perfect the light is indirect! So i don't know why is doing that
Curling leaves on a rattlesnake Calathea is usually a sign it needs to be watered but if it doesn’t need to be watered, curling leaves can be the result of a pest problem, or a bacterial or fungal infection. I would check for pests first (spider mites or mealy bugs would be most common for this plant). If it’s a bacterial or fungal infection you would see discoloration or grey mold on the leaves. Hopefully this helps!
I saw some beautiful Syngonium’s at a local nursery, and thanks to your advice, I checked them for Thrips, even though they looked so healthy . AND sure enough they had Thrips 😏
Those thrips are sneaky and they love syngoniums. Glad you checked!💚
I got a vine as a cutting from my local plant shop. I managed to get eight one leaf cuttings from that piece of vine. Only one has rooted so far. It's the Ilano carti road. I'm still hoping to get the others to root, so I can pot them all up together.
Your videos are wonderful, thanks for making them. I recently spotted a lone llano carti road in my garden centre and brought it home without knowing what it was. It's so beautiful! Can't wait to (hopefully) see it grow. Would you recommend letting it acclimatise to my home for a while before propagating it? If so, how long? Hope you're doing well!
It just depends on the size of the plant, but in general taking one cutting to propagate right away won’t hurt. Now if it’s a tiny little three vine plant I would probably wait until it starts pushing out more growth.
Very informative video, thank you! I own 4 different Syngonium now ❤. Do you recommend a draining soil or pon (semi hydro) for a Syngonium?
My syngonium is like 5 or so years old and still hasn't got the fancy lobes! But, I have noticed the last few months that each leaf coloring is far different than the next one. I've had fully white leaves come and die just as quickly as they were born a few times. I am getting more pink veining, lighter greens, more dark edges, I'm guessing my plant is finally hitting a different maturity level. I just pop in Orchid stakes and clip it on to help keep it upright as it takes up a ton of room if I let it just fall everywhere... Now that I've done that I've noticed in getting a lot of nodes or I guess potential air roots. 🤔
Their leaves always surprise me especially as they get older, it’s one of the things I love about them ❤️
Love this. Just bought my second syngonium. I also like them bushy. You said you can trim them to keep them that way. Can you elaborate on that? Do you cut below nodes and propogate every time a node starts really vining? Also, can I propogate by division?
Yes, what you described is what I do. If you’re plant is multiple separate plants potted into one pot then yes you can divide them out.
Hi! I discovered syngoniums at a plant swap and now they are one of my favorites. I currently have a mojito, two albos (one propagated from the og), and a couple of wendlandiis. As you mentioned, they get pretty leggy. What’s the best way to encourage more compact/fuller growth once they’ve already stalked out?
More light might be needed and in general occasional pruning will help, but some varieties also just naturally grow more leggy than others. My Glo Go has been the easiest to keep growing in a compact and bushy manor💚
Thanks to that very last bit about how crispy tips probably wasn’t due to lack of humidity, but most likely due to Thrips, I took a closer look at one of mine. And sure enough those bastards were all over it 😡. I HATE Thrips, and I thought that I was finally rid of them....
😵
Just found your channel! 💚 I’m mostly a Hoya collector but I’ve been into syngonium lately! I find the leaves on my white butterfly feel dry compared to my other ones 🤔 not sure why.
I have my eye on the strawberry milk 🍓 🥛 and the milk confetti. They cost a pretty penny though!
Do you have your white butterfly in a location that’s very different than where your other ones are?
@@AlohaPlantLife nope, they are all in a north window. The butterfly has always (even when I bought it) had more of a papery feel. Maybe it’s just normal for that one haha 🤷🏻♀️
@@cleanslatekate6367I have a white butterfly and its leaves are soft and pliable. But my son's one has stiff and papery leaves. So fascinating!
If it has really vining, can it be pruned into a bushy Vining,? Do you have video of that procedure?
You can just trim the long vines way back and it will encourage new growth at the base of the plant. Just try not to cut more than a third of the foliage back at a time💚
Can you bottom water thee plants?
I have several syngonium & I have problems with the lighter green leaf varieties burning or dying off when they r about 10-12 ft from a small East facing window. Any suggestions?
Wow, that's pretty far back for leaf burn. Are you sure it's not from underwatering? If you're sure it's not from underwatering, then you could try moving them to a North window (I'm assuming you're in the Northern hemisphere?) and see if that helps. Just out of curiosity, what is the specific variety that is giving you the most trouble?
Same 🙋🏽♀️
The darker green varieties are not doing that
why my Maria Allusion turns yellow they very healthy and lots of new growth, but most of the mature leaves turn yellow I think is yellow they turn orange ,dark pink because of the dark colour leaves I think it is to be yellow type , is not overwatered , this is the second plant that has happened in the same way, I kept in the same container when I bought it they usually happens after one leave drop and another one happens again, what do you think is it the problem? thank you
Have you checked to see if it’s root bound and perhaps needs to be repotted?
Hi there I want to know how to stake my plan up to get it to climb without hurting roots!!! I'm scared to stick the pole in there because I'm scared I'm going to ruin the roots!!! Please help 😂😂
Unless you repot it and remove all the soil in the process (which still could damage some roots), you’re likely to damage a few sticking a pole in the pot but it’s not going to destroy the plant or anything if a few roots get damaged💚
@@AlohaPlantLife okay thank you!!! For getting back with me 😊😊👍
does anyone know what i should do if im usung a grow light, time on, how bright, how far from the plant etc, if anyone needs more info im using a aerogarden stem grow light

Can the syngonium podophyllum live in water it’s entire life?
Yes💚
What pot do you like terracota or plastic ? Can you water wick this plant water from top ? Any size pot is best ?
I keep all my plants in plastic nursery pots/containers and then just put them inside of a decorative cover pot. Pot size needs to match the size of the root structure of the plant. Basically you want a little room for the roots to grow and spread but you don’t want them to be drowning in soil. When you say water wick I’m assuming you mean a self-watering pot and, yes, that can work for syngonium. I personally top water mine.
Thank you for answering my question . Where is a good place to buy vase or decorative pots ?
@@vanschermerhorn7167 Any garden center store or most home goods stores
is orchid mix a fine soil for this plant?
I use my forest floor mix. Here’s a video on all my soil mixes: The Perfect Soil by Plant Type | Custom Soil Mix | Houseplant Soil Mix

What about variegated syngonium
What about them?
hello dear, can you grow syngonium in Lechuza Pon?
I have personally never done it so I’m hesitant to say yes or no when I can’t back something up with experience😬
I grow most of mine in PON.
Can you use hydrophonics when growing these ?
Yes, absolutely
I have all of mine except one duplicate in PON, no drainage with a lecca layer at the bottom of the vase. Most of them are on moss poles. I’m really enjoying them with this setup.
But how do you get rid of pests?
Depends on the pest. Is there a particular pest you’re currently dealing with?
They grow better from lower light towards the window
Why have they gotten so expensive?
I never had my syngonium Vine grab anything,I think she over states this 😢😮
I’m just stating my experience. Other people’s experiences might be different and that’s okay. Syngonium are climbers though, so if they have something they can grab onto and climb they will climb if you want them to. That’s why a lot of people will give theirs a pole or a plank. I personally prefer to just to keep mine trimmed to where they look bushy in appearance. But once again, to each their own. It’s whatever you prefer and what works well in your space💚
I have a Maria Allusion, it does not stay more compact lol. She requires constant haircuts or she spreads like a cat in your way does lol
