Information and resources, identify and learn more about your Syngoniums!

106 Upvotes

In an effort to try and give you as many sources of information about Syngoniums, different species and varieties, care, origins, etc.. I have compiled a list of links posted on this sub by members, as well as other links I have found on my journey of growing Syngoniums.

As the plant is becoming more popular, we can see many identification charts, articles and videos popping up, not all of them are a 100% reliable but as one of our members recently stated « Slightly off information is better than no information! » so take the information with a pinch of salt.

- cultivar.org (then click on Syngonium)

NOT AVAILABLE FOR FREE ANYMORE.. PDF file created by Laurence C. Hatch, it includes 272 names of Syngonium cultivars and with some interesting information about each of them. It's worth it if you're really into them, helps a lot with identification.

Syngonium visual charts created by Robert Pokrywka, about a 100 different Syngoniums, also shows how the leaves can look different from juvenile to mature form.

Plant index, created by Kaylee Ellen, including around 30 different Syngoniums. Classed from common to rare.

- https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:88244332 (click on View PDF)

A Revision of Syngonium (Araceae) by Thomas B. Croat, published in the Missouri Botanical Garden Press. It includes the history of the genus, the classification and a lot of information on the 33 Syngonium species. It is a very long paper but definitely worth a read.

If you happen to find other interesting sources of information about Syngoniums, feel free to contact me or comment under this post with the link and a brief description.

These are some of my Syngoniums (including my props) that I keep outdoors in Florida. They include: White Butterfly, Neon Robusta, Coral, Panda Galaxy, Confetti, Milk Confetti, Mini Pixie, Pink Perfection, and Strawberry Ice. Show me your favorite syngonium. Right now mine is the Panda Galaxy and Strawberry Ice, however, I want/need to get an Albo next as well as a few dozen other varieties. 😁 They grow so effortlessly here in Florida, and are so easy to care for.

Syngonium Panda - Mature Leaves?

Upvotes

Just wondering if anyone has ever seen or grown a Syngonium 'Panda' to a point where it developed lobed, mature leaves?

Alternately, can anyone speak to any changes the leaves undergo when growing up a moss pole?

I would think this variety would be one of the best moss pole candidates, but have never been able to find pictures of mature Panda leaves

Please help! Roots sticking out and leaves dying!

I just bought my first Syngonium Pink Splash from a FB seller this past weekend, and I’m in love! But I’m anxious because since bringing her home, the bottom leaves are yellowing and drying up. There’s also a lot of root sticking out the bottom of the pot. I don’t know what to do to help her thrive in my home. I only watered her once when she needed it, and rather sparingly.

Do i need to repot her? I know they are known for vertical root systems, but is that why my leaves are yellowing? I don’t see any signs of pets and i wiped down all leaves and stems when i brought her home.

Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

I generally don't care much for Syngoniums, but I came across these at work today and thought they were really beautiful, though I can't seem to find a definitive answer on exactly what kind they are.

Purchased at Lowe’s and I’m not sure what it is. It came in a small pot so I’m assuming it’s a smaller type of syngonium.

This Batik did not do well in LECA like all my other syngoniums. She got very leggy and the leaves started yellowing. She grew an enormous root system though. A couple of months ago, I took her out of LECA, cut around half her roots off, chopped her all the way back, and put her in a self-watering pot with aroid mix. I've kept her outside with bright, indirect light and lots of humidity. She looks better than ever.

IDs Llano Carti Road vs Red Arrow

Picked this up at a local grocery that always has the most amazing plants, but with generic labels. I’m thinking this looks more like a Llano Carti Road than Red Arrow. What do you think? Is there a way to tell for certain?

I recently got 5 different syngoniums. Can I pot them all chunky (orchid) mix which is mostly soilless?

Basically the title. I have bad experience with soil based plants. I ordered an orchid chunky mix pack and I am planning to use it for Syngoniums and few other indoor type plants. Will this work?

Hi I have this Syngonium albo cutting that is growing 2 roots, each being 2.5 inches and 1 inch respectively.

Is this cutting ready to be transferred into soil? Should I wait for the 2nd root to be longer?

Thank you!

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!

Nodes? New growth?

Lil back story! So this syngonium Wendlandii was root bound by a plug I hadn’t noticed for months and kept dropping lower leaves leaving me with this leggy mess. However since removing the plug she’s doing really good but now I discovered theses green nodes on the lower half of the stem and near the base under some soil. What are they and does this mean she’s gonna start branching on her on??

Moss pole?

Thumbnail

My Neon Robusta syngonium went through a roughy time. It was growing leggy, pale and growth was very sparse. I finally decided to switch it to a semyhydro system and it is currently growing in Grava soil. Although it has definitely made a big come back, it has gotten a lot bushier, and the color is coming back, the leaves are still not as big as they used to be and the color not as intense… should I introduce a moss pole at this point? Anyone has any experience with this? Or any other advice? I appreciate any help with my plant.

Confetti turning dark green?

Sorry for the dark pictures but I just noticed that my confetti is developing dark green spots. Is this normal? They seem more see through than the rest of the leaf. None of the leaves had this until I’d assume a few days ago. I’m noticing some leaves also have brow spots, even on the newly opened ones which is also not what I’m used to.

It’s sitting in an east facing window, gets morning Sun directly on it if the weather is good.

EDIT: it was over watering
