# I inherited a friend’s dad’s syngonium when he passed recently. It…

_Posted by JRuck on 2024-06-22_

I inherited a friend’s dad’s syngonium when he passed recently. It came to me in a huge pot mixed with a Chinese Evergreen, and I separated them into their own pots, and at first after transplant the syngonium was doing great, but it QUICKLY freaked out and I’m down to about 5 leaves and part of a vine.

I figure there is shock going on, but it’s been months now, and I just am hoping I didn’t kill the mother plant. Pictures: before I separated, in its new pot, and what is now left.

Help, please!!! I was shocked to get the little new growth I have, and I will be so upset if I lose this plant. (And yes, I somehow managed to get one of the purple shamrock into the mix, lol)
