Syngonium belongs to Araceae. These evergreen climbers develop aerial roots and arrow-shaped leaves. [16]
Mila's catalogue names this plant Syngonium Milk Confetti. [13]
Gabriella Plants describes its Milk Confetti with whiter leaves than regular Confetti and speckling on the sheaths around the leaf stalks. [15]
During active growth, use a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer according to its label. Avoid feeding a resting plant. [8]
Use fresh medium, keep the plant at its existing depth and water it in. Let excess drain. [2]
During active growth, use clean, sharp pruners to take a three- to four-inch stem tip. Cut below a node and remove lower leaves, leaving two nodes for insertion into rooting mix. [10]
Insert the exposed nodes into moist rooting medium. Keep the cutting warm, shaded and humid while roots develop. [10]
Shorten extending stems to manage the plant’s shape; provide support for climbing growth. [9]
Check moisture first. [3]
Review the light exposure. [3]
Reduce watering as winter growth slows; continue checking the mix. [9]
