Bright indirect light but can take full sun. I have some in my cabinet and some just in the house. Let them completely dry out. I fertilize a very dilute solution every watering, with superthrive. I pretty much treat them like pothos

After it acclimates to your house id make sure the roots look okay and make sure the soil isn’t too dense. They like a well draining soil

ah okay! can they grow out of a fish tank \[in water\] like pothos too? lol also do you know what type this one is? let me grab a better pic now that I'm home

#### Kades replied on 2025-01-13

They can! I find some varieties do better than others on water though (idk why). I have a starlite, confetti, and albo that are pretty happy in water (the fish tank might be too strong of fert for the variegation though). I’ve killed a Regina in water, my orm nak is unhappy and will be going back to soil

aww well that does kind of make sense! for some reason I can ONLY get cebu blue pothos to grow IN the fish tank. not out of it. in it. lol so idk. I'm hoping I can make this syngonium happy. how long do you think he'll need to acclimate? a week or two?

#### Kades replied on 2025-01-13

I’d say about a week unless you see him going down hill then id pull it out of the pot sooner. They do okay with or without humidity. If you don’t mind me asking how much was the plant?
