  • This is hands down one of the easiest and most common houseplant to care for and to propagate. But there are a few things interesting about this plant… (1) They can trail to produce smaller leaves, or climb up to give you monster sized leaves with interesting shapes. (2) More light = more variegation. These guys can produce random variegation on the leaves within the same plant that create lots of interesting textures and contrast. I insert a few warnings on this plant as invasive species and how we should NEVER allow them to live outside our pots. In this video I demonstrate propagation straight into soil, water, and for the more advanced propagators, the wet stick! I show you an update of the propagations to show you that nearly 100% of them made it!

    “I didn’t remove the caterpillars because I guess they deserve a place to live in this world.” Goooodddd most plant owners kill them. Your heart is golden. The world needs more people like you! More power to you!

    "Well, I must endure the presence of two or three caterpillars if I wish to become acquainted with butterflies." (Antoine De Saint - Exupéry, The Little Prince)
    That 's what i say to myself whenever my plants got damage by caterpillars. Sad, i don't see much butterflies nowadays.

    Thanks for the great video. My syngonium white butterfly died of root rot a few months ago. So recently I got another 2 pots. I recently put one pot outdoors under mass cane. I practically buried the pot into the soil of the mass cane pot and 2 days later they were wilty. I guessed the holes of the syngonium pot was stuffed and I have root rot again. So now I just took it all out and plant in the pot of the mass cane. Hopefully it lives.
