Curious whats happening… _Ryanash28님이 2026-01-11에 게시함_ Is this pot too small or am I under watering? Curious whats happening to my Syngonium? I water once a week (soil dries out) but it hasn’t had any new growth in months and the older leaves are turning yellow/curling up. Is it too small of a pot or do I need to water it more often? Have it under a grow light with an east facing window. ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/vQEq-LilaOMf_HhMBvXcsEHy3s6QgZfNMA85tJ_toxk/c7YDTkX_T3uYoXJ99qmAYQ.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/vQEq-LilaOMf_HhMBvXcsEHy3s6QgZfNMA85tJ_toxk/I8Hy5i_MTxmhJ2hIo_4FiA.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/vQEq-LilaOMf_HhMBvXcsEHy3s6QgZfNMA85tJ_toxk/N5-RrPFbSsWkyo4kqxLpAg.webp?size=large) ## 5개의 댓글 ### Kameron 🌿님이 2026-01-11에 댓글을 남겼어요. This looks like a case of Underwatering, and the pot being a tad too small.. depending on last repotting and root density. Syngonium like moist, not soggy soil conditions. Like the soil after a misty warm night, that kind. Just damp enough - and once a week might not be enough to have it recover. The yellowing is circling dead leaves usually means the whole root system is getting uneven watering, or just not enough. I’d suggest running her under the tap, and spinning 360 gently until it drips out from the drainage holes. If the roots are circling or falling out, maaaybe I’d consider a bigger pot but it might honestly do more harm than good. Plants are resilient, but with that being said also diligent. Give it time to acclimate before any big decisions are made, she may surprise you! I’d also reccomend taking it in the bathroom while you shower, that humidity boost for about 10-15 minutes, it will do you a HUGE favor. Growth will come back! And glossier and more importantly lush. Goodluck #### Kameron 🌿님이 2026-01-11에 답변했습니다. And if you are scared of repotting you can also cachepot! It works quite the same, well not quite but in times of recovery or needing a plant to be stabilized. Just a tad research on where the plant comes from, their usual day to day’s light and humidity you will have a breeze when it comes to this syngonium. They’re forgiving, give her time to forgive you! #### Ryanash28님이 2026-01-11에 답변했습니다. Thank you! I pruned the two dying leaves and did the thorough but not too much watering! Not repotting just yet. Hopefully start to see more growth soon #### Kameron 🌿님이 2026-01-11에 답변했습니다. You will, i suggest putting your syngonium in lighting like this if you can! This dappled lighting mimics the jungle floor, and offer a diffuser/humidifier and you will see growth quick! Repotting is the last thing on the list, I’d say so far down you should wait until your syngonium grows too full mature leaves before thinking about it. I highly doubt it’s close to root bounding. Goodluck ! Also this is a west facing window. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LH_UTpplYV43bQfb6flcxnJFOAg7vdvxTsOta8aV1EA/9vHbHsSBTmi030gxjfNk8Q.webp?size=large) ### Crazy plant lady님이 2026-01-12에 댓글을 남겼어요. I agree with Kameron, unless you are using good plant lights with the right uv then they won’t do so well, learned from experience 😅 I put mine under bright indirect light --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
