    Try putting stakes to support the stems. Thats what i had to do and in an east facing window with morning sun (when there's sun, since its still winter here)

    They mostly droop from too much/too little water, and low light. Healthy syngoniums don’t need staking unless you want the vines to grow on a pole. Yours look overwatered from the edges and the droop. Pale fading colors can also indicate low light/low fertilizer. I would only water when the soil is completely dry. It’s better to underwater than over water a syngonium. It has a better chance of reviving from dryness than from root rot. I recommend using well draining soil. I have 12 varieties of these plants. Most are in potting soil with 1/3 perlite. Definitely, give it lots of morning light or south facing light with sheer curtains as a filter and the plant within 1 foot of the window. A grow light running 12hrs works well. I fertilize twice a month in warmer months with 50% diluted fertilizer.

    I’ll give you my routine. There are three varieties of Syngoniums on that shelf and they all get the same treatment. Water when dry, grow lights on about 14 hours a day, humidifier on shelf, plus in warm, sometimes humid bathroom. Soil is airy with added perlite, orchid bark, charcoal, and some very small rock (from a succulent soil).
