Is it an albo variegata or a syngonium aurea? Did it arrive with roots or did you buy a cutting? The dry leaf edges and limp stems can happen from the stress of shipping. It’s exaggerated with cuttings that lack water during transportation. It’s common to lose a leaf or two on a syngonium cutting. The spots on the stems could be scars from previous damage. Check if they scrape off to verify they are not scales insects. I recommend you propagate in a wider container if using soil. Syngonium roots grow out within 1 to 2 weeks especially when using rooting hormone powder and plant vitamins (SuperThrive).
2개 좋아요I was told it was a syngonium albo, it had small roots, not fully rooted. Ok I will move it to a larger container! Whatever is on it did scrape off if I used my nail.

0개 좋아요Syngonium albo variegata is one of my favorite arrowheads. The markings are beautiful and unpredictable. They act more like a ground cover fit for a hanging basket the way the vines dangle over the edge of a pot. Plus, they are low maintenance once the roots are established. Two of mine are still in the 3 inch nursery pots. They require daily watering, now. So, I will put them together in an 8 inch pot. I’ve done this already with my first two and they are doing well. Plus, I don’t have to water them everyday. The vines in the picture are about 1.5 feet and hang over the edge of the little starter pot. I have it propped up to keep it from falling off the chair.
