It is better to place it in partial shade or on western or eastern window sills, although the syngonium indoor plant can withstand bright diffused light well - as long as direct sunlight does not fall on it, from which its leaves fade.

How quickly do syngoniums grow

They grow from internodes, often almost merging with the petioles and are visible only up close. Syngoniums are one of the fastest growing vines.

In comfortable conditions, they can add up to 80 cm in length per year, remaining compact only for the first few years.

Moreover, the older the syngoniums are, the faster they grow.

How to care

Syngonium nolifolia prefers a humid environment and, of course, tolerates drought relatively well. However, for better growth, it is better to water it regularly.

Check the soil moisture regularly in spring and summer when plants are growing vigorously.

You need to water every time the soil becomes 2.5 cm dry on top.

Syngonium prefers high air humidity.

The plant should be sprayed with water at room temperature, especially during hot periods and also during the heating season.

The use of special devices that humidify the air has a beneficial effect on growth.

How can syngonium be propagated

Syngonium is propagated by cuttings or dividing the bush.

For a beginning gardener, cuttings are a simpler method, but some varieties are recommended to be formed in divisions.

The propagation of sansaveria has much in common with the process of obtaining new varieties of tropical vines.
