More light? More water? Is the soil packed high enough? When my syngonium’s leaves fade, dry out, and fall off it’s because she’s thirsty. Hope her colour comes back!

Have not watered yet as when i got it the lady just did it. I’m thinking maybe shock of transport or change in environment:( just praying it won’t die on me

Backtracking a bit rn- the leaves on the right look like they belong to a whole different plant

#### Alex replied on 2026-03-26

I thought the same tbh!

Not to be too nerdy lol but i think they look like that because as the plant matures and climbs it splits its leaves three ways 🌱
