My Syngonium is way too “leggy”. It’s pushing out new leaves but how can it get it to be more full. I’m assuming to cut it and propagate it again. Thoughts? Also, what’s the proper way to cut this

    Get the leggy part in soil. All I ever do if they reach like that. Deeper pot!!

    Syngoniums don’t put out side branches. You need 3 to 4 plants in a four inch pot to get a full lush look. You can cut and propagate this plant. It could take 6 months to a year fill the pot with cuttings. An alternative is to buy smaller/starter plants to add to the pot. It’s usually leggy because the light levels are too low. So, add more light. It needs 8 hours per day, at least, of bright indirect light to thrive. 🍀🪴

    You could air layer right around where the main stem splits over a few nodes and once roots develop I would chop the top and repot it
