# Hello, can anyone tell me what this is? My wife almost killed this…

_Posted by RootRookie on 2024-09-19_

Hello, can anyone tell me what this is?  
My wife almost killed this plant 4 years ago and left a single leaf propagated (the right leaf). I’ve recently started taking care of it again a month ago and now it’s growing a 3rd leaf.. not as fast as the one on the left.. So another question is can I put this plant in soil even though it’s been propagating for years now?

I’m guessing it’s a syngonium albo.  
You can definitely change it to soil! It looks like a nice root system, it might be in a bit of shock at first but it should start growing bigger and better once in soil.
