Usually water 1-2 times a week and it has good drainage

It could be low humidity and/or insufficient light. I have several that look like this at the end of winter. They get less humidity with the heater running. They open up once spring comes and I take them outside where they get bright indirect light and south Texas humidity levels.

This is a syngonium podophyllum. It could be a milk confetti (photo) or pink spot. I can’t tell from the photo. The leaves will get lighter with more pink variegations with more light. They do well under a grow light running 12-16 hours a day.

Thank you so much! So you think if I have a humidifier in my room and spritz it once in a while it will get better?

#### Sunny ha risposto il 2025-05-03

It will do better with the humidity levels in the range of 50- 70 percent. I don’t mist unless a new leaf is struggling because of dryness. Misting can leave big drops of water that mold spores love. The mist can block excess water in the leaf “pores.” A humidifier produces fine water vapor that dries more quickly than mist.

It could also be lighting issues. Ensure it’s getting several hours of bright light.

Thanks so much you’ve been a great help
