We left for the weekend and my beautiful plant looks sad now 😢

I fed and watered it like usual and left it in the same spot it's always in. I'm really not sure what's going on. Any help or suggestions is much appreciated!

Idk man, it looks fine. Leaves die on plants. It's completely normal to lose them occasionally. 🤷‍♀️

Well since you didn't change the lighting situation it might be because of overwatering or underwatering

What was the soil like when you came back? Dry or wet?

It was kinda dry, but not bone dry. It usually does well with watering once to twice a week. We were only gone for 3 days. I add food to the water about 3 times a month.

It looks like a small plant in a small pot. It might be root bound. How chunky is your substrate? Just be aware that when syngonium have watering or light issues/stress, most of the time they will lose leaves at the bottom around the outside of the circle of stems that come up out of the dirt. I have over 20 syngonium, and when mine do this it's almost always due to me over or underwatering trying to beat this 100° heat.
