I picked up this pretty syngonium at my local HD about a month ago. The leaf on the top has grown quite a bit. I’ve just noticed a lot of the smaller leaves have stayed curled up. I repotted about 2 weeks ago. I figured they were just new leaves and needed some time to unfurl but they’ve stayed the same since I bought it. I have 3 more syngoniums and they started the same way but have eventually unfurled. Am I doing something wrong?

How much like is it getting? They typically need a lot of indirect light, I was having that issue with my milk confetti until I moved her closer to the grow light

She’s right in front of the window. She gets great morning light and then indirect light all day long!

Huh then I’m not sure what’s going on, maybe somebody else will comment with other ideas, I’m sorry

Did HD have this Syngonium in one of those glass water jars before you potted it?

No, it was in a small 3 inch pot that it was outgrowing through the bottom. I waited to repot so it could get acclimated to my home.

Actually, I don’t see fertilizer in its soil or do you provide it as a liquid every other week?

You have to remember that when this plant is growing in the wild, it is getting rained on and blown about by the wind. All of that helps unfurl its leaves. In captivity, it may need your help to accomplish that goal.
