Got this syngonium last year in a gift basket but only recently have had a chance to repot.

Anyone know which kind? Maybe a Maria illusion?

Realizing now a different soil would probably be better. I used regular potting soil with perlite but I think it needs better drainage.

Leaves were not uncurling so well but a pebble tray has helped. I’m not sure how much light to give.

Appreciate any tips 🌱
