I have (2) Maria's for now and I've had them for 6 months and so far they are easy plants in my opinion. They need more water than say a pothos and that's okay. I may repot them this spring into a larger pot for more fullness and bushier plant. Many plantubers hardly even mention these though and they seem so easy care and low maintenance. They all have their own unique appearance and no two are alike. I enjoyed seeing all of them!
I think I have almost all of these. I love my variegated Chiapense. Just as easy as the others. So far I haven’t had any trouble with reversion on variegated Chiapense, albo or aurea. I have over 30 different types of Syngonium. I’m probably done with them for now.
Is the Chiapense Variegata worth it compared to other plants with this type of variegation? I think I prefer the Frosted Heart that has a lot more unique looking leaves.
The variegation is very beautiful. It has layers of color from white, to mint to medium green to dark green. In many places they are layered in unique ways. They are expensive still but I’m pleased with mine. Frosted heart is on my wishlist. I have the plain green chiapense too.
Syngonium Steyermarkii is a gorgeous plant and a lot more beautiful than the thaumatophyllum bipennifolium. Mine is only a baby but the leaves have a metallic shimmer that is hard to describe and a really nice texture to the leaves. Many plants look nicer on fotographs than in reality but not this one.
My also syngonium also has not reverted back. It’s a great grower. It like to climb up pole. My also start from one leaf that my friend was killing. She is now almost 6 ft. And the white levels have not died off.
I love my panda galaxy, but my favorite if my scrambled eggs syngonium. My Albo and 3 kings are next favorites in my collection. I have a pretty pink one too that I’m not sure of the name of, but the leaves are always different…it’s a weird one.
I have difficulty telling some of the Syngoniums apart! So many look like a White Butterfly to me! I think I have a tiny mojito. My albos grow like crazy, but they vine and look unruly. One rooted itself outside in the ground behind the hose reel where I kept it last summer and was so pretty until the first hard freeze happened a couple of weeks ago!
This was so informative. Your wish list is by topic. Due to space and window constraints my wish list is about 6 plants total. One or two of these are syngoniums. I've gone back and forth between the Albo and Three Kings, and think I might go with the kings since it is stable. I think you said it is more compact also, which is good. I also love the mojito. But, I still might end up with an Albo if I see one i n a weak moment. LOL. Great video, I learned a lot.
She definitely deserves more subscribers as her channel is great ..always so informative and helpful. Well researched and fun to watch and I love the cats too😊
Liked this video. I have some syngoniums: 3 kings; albo; frosted heart; lyano carte; pink/red spot; confetti?; lance leaf. I just go the lance leaf. Steves Leaves has it. Really looks nice and different from the others. The ones I have on poles have some bare stalks, but have lobes. Not sure how I feel about them. They are the 3 Kings and Red spot. I think all syngniums are good houseplants. So manageable in size. I don't have any aurea plants. I think most of them look unhealthy, and I prefer the contrast of white varigation. I am mostly out of room for new plants unless I purge; which I do during the summer months by putting plants by the sidewalk for rehoming. I am a subscriber.
I had a Syngonium that I bought years ago. I called it the arrowhead plant. When I brought it inside in the fall, it was big and better than I ever seen it. Big leaves, very bushy. As te warmer weather approached, it began dying out. By the time the growing season came. It was gone. I had that plant before the internet. I was totally devastated 😢
I have and love the Syngonium tricolor, my favorite. I also love the red leaf one and the Albo. I also like the pink splash. I have others, but these head the list.
That syngonium Steyermarkii looks really interesting. I have syngonimu macrophyllum frosted heart, which I really like. It has a more subtle look, but when sun shines thorough the leaves it really look impressive.
I didn’t know steyermarkii got like that. I really love the green spot and have also heard it called grey ghost but haven’t seen it in person. I ❤ my albo, Wendlandii, and ngern lai ma.
Got an unknown syngonium at a plant swap last October. I think it may be a margarita! It's fast growing and already needs a moss pole! The pink is such a soft color. It's adorable!
I love your new cat❤.Much more than any syngonium at this point,I used to have a few from those you showed but they grew huge so I gifted them to other plant lovers .I still keep the Three Kings, Auritum,Trileaf Wonder, Confetti 😅,chiapense regular green and Red Spot...I just keep them,don't love them anymore😢.But I do love your videos,can't wait to know Scooter's story .(if I wrote his name incorrectly,I apologise)
Been slacking catching up on your videos. All I can say is, ME TOO! That being said, I only have one (milk confetti) and I killed the one I had before it (holly). It is super duper unhappy because I switched it over to semi-hydro BUT I just got an itty bitty leaf! Can’t wait to see your collection!
I love syngonium so much. They’re very fussy for me but I’m sure I’ve done or not done something to contribute to it. I’m on the hunt for a tricolor myself
I have just more or less impulse ordered a syngonium batik and am very delighted to hear that the variegation will stay! It will be my first Syngonium and I bought my first Philodendron too (Hastum Silver Sword - what a colour!) because they were on discount and just so so so pretty 🥲 Also in case you remember: I was the weird person who mostly killed her goeppertia warscewicii. I tried different things with the four tubers I had left and they didn’t do well but one I just left in water (changing it every few days) and it’s showing a tiny very white something! I can’t tell if it’s a root or an actual shoot yet but I’m so effing excited! Not to jinx it but maybe my dream of growing a whole new baby plant is not only wishful thinking 👀
Haha, a "cat situation" 😂. I saw the tail pass by and thought "Uh-oh! New trouble ❤.". I love syngoniums a lot lately too, more green styles. My White Butterfly doesn't look much like yours as it's like a whiter & slightly smaller leaf 3 Kings, but love my Wendlandii, Albo (that is half reverting 🤦🏾♀️), Holly, and Linear. Have a Mojito prop too, but not sure how I feel about it yet. P.S. Want some Mini Pixie for my terrariums! Never knew about this one.
I have several including a variegated chiapense but I find them to be a bit finicky especially if you give them too much water. Great video!! ❤ I believe I’m all caught up now!😊
Great video! I just bought a variagated chiapense cutting! I'm stoked about it! It's rooting in my prop box right now! My steyermarkii behaves more like a alocasia than a syngonium. Likes it wet and heavy feeder. And it's not a super fast grower compared to my arrowhead vine type syngoniums.
F L U F F Y C A T 😺😺 💞💞 Hello Scooter! I bought a few syngoniums to practice passive hydro - they're still alive lol. I did find a few that I really liked, I have batik (I pronounce like you do) love it! I made a moss/coir wall for it and a few at others to climb up... I hope! I also have mojito - I find it to be a very fast grower and it's on a moss pole, the variegation is stunning! I cannot believe they can call that army! I've just purchased a chiapense, just the green, someone told me it was a good idea to get the hang of it before getting the frosted heart. I'm sorry, I really don't like the variegated one - it just looks like army camoflauge to me, same with the aglaonema pictum tri colour, is just not my thing. Aurea/yellow variegation, hmmmm, really depends on the plant but it's usually a no for me but that syngonium aurea is a definate yes! Nawwwwww! Mini pixie! That it the cutest thing ever! I love it. Love the green splash, I like the green on green. 🤣 Plants like Australia more than Texas!! By any chance is he in Queensland or NSW? Some amazing interesting unusual varieties that I never knew existed! You always have great information A segment on plants I don't get the hype about would be very interesting! Aglaonema pictum tri colour anyone? Have a great week Drea 🙋🏻
I want to love syngonium. They are beautiful. They are a less expensive way to get some cool variegation in one’s collection. I have 7. Only 3 of them have not had pests at some point. They are just freaking pest candy. I have systemics, topical sprays, I do prevention, etc. the pests just find a way. Plants directly beside them will be unaffected, but the syngo will just be getting monched.🤣
I just discovered your channel Drea and I'm really enjoying your style and appreciating all the information you share! I've had houseplants for a couple decades now but syngoniums were never really on my radar. I picked an unlabeled wendtlandii years ago but it died on me before I could figure him out. 🤔 That was my first, and last, syngonium. I really like the look of them but they are hard to find where I live. Last fall I was given a very sad-looking mojito as a rescue project. Took care of the thrips, repotted, etc, and now it's doing well. However it is growing as a long single vine. It's literally about 1.5m long (about 5' I think). The internodal spacing was 3-4" when I got it and now that's down to maybe 1.5" at most. However the petioles are very short so I just have a long string of leaves hugging the vine. I'm thinking of cutting it up comes spring to propagate into individual plants and perhaps repot them together. However I'm not sure if mojito bushes out at all or if its trailing habit is so strong that it vines almost immediately. Any thoughts?
@@AlohaPlantLife I'll do it in 2-3 weeks' time when spring is truly on its way. I'm hoping it'll bush out at least a little because I'm not a fan of constantly dealing with stringy vines. Fingers crossed!
I’m not a huge fan of aurea either. I have a couple different yellow-variegated Philodendron but if there’s a white variegated option, I’d much rather go for that.
My Syngonium llano carti road is the only syngonium I’ve had problems with. It lost all of its leaves. It just now grew one leaves back after like 9 months. I still don’t know what I did wrong.
The ones in soil I had before I started experimenting with leca, and the ones in leca I either moved as part of said experimentation or I got them already in leca from someone else. I haven’t tried pon yet because when I got into semi-hydro it was sold out everywhere.
I find that the 1 plant that gives off so many confusing and similar plants aside from it being stunning is the Syngonium. Not only are there plants that look similar, but the names are often very creative. Why a Red Spot can look like an expensive Pink Salmon and many other plants is so what confusing. An expensive Orm Nad Red might look like a Pink Splash or an Pink Neon Robusta BUT You have to pay attention to details. And a young plant looks nothing like a Mature plant which adds to the confusion.Fortunately in Europe many of the “Rare and Expensive varieties aren’t obtainable as cuttings and due to the prolific growth patterns of Syngoniums full plants are quickly established. As I obtain more varieties it seems as though Someone started with a base plant and just went crazy creating different types of the SAME plant. Like Alocasia’s Syngoniums love Lecha or Semi hydro due to the need for moist roots. Just recently bought my favorite (at the moment) plant a Orm Nad Red for a super price. It’s similar to an Robusta but different. Enjoyed the video. Stay safe.
Three Kings is sloooowwwww. Love it, but dang girl, grow!
😅😅😅 I have a baby one 3 leaves, she is taking forever to grow,everyday go to see if she has grown any more, she is going to teach me patience 😂😂

Thank you Drea. Your channel is one of my favorites on TH-cam planty wise....so good tfs
Get all three and put into the same pot. Friendly suggestion 🪴
I have over 23 syngonium and the growth rates are pretty much the same..my variegated chiapense is a little slow but that's about it.
Love these in-depth vids, Drea. Lots of work, I imagine, but such a good reference tool for newbies. Hope you get some new subscribers

They need less light than a regular Syngonium. That’s what happen to mind until I move it below a window, Friendly Suggestion 🪴
Why do you have some of you syngonium in soil and some in leca and what about pon
