I just bought my first Syngonium albo variegated and would love a referral of a grow light to keep it under. He is beautiful 😀

Sansi lights on Amazon are affordable and work well!

Thank you, Tanya! I am still trying to figure out where it should stay in the house since I read it does not like wind. My other syngonium has been in my north facing window for years and it was fine (still adapting to the recent repotting), but I need to to some rearranging.

It’s a plant…I’m sure some wind will be fine, as long as it’s not like hurricane force winds. I’m assuming since it’s an albo, a north window may not provide enough light

Hey Simone! Congrats on the plant. Just be aware that’s a VERY white variegation you have. You’re right in thinking I’ll need grow lights. Be careful to not burn the white they’re sensitive and shoot a grow light on the most green leaf. The white ones cannot absorb the light anyway. Idk if you’re aware of how fragile super white variegated plants are. Just don’t be too disappointed if it struggles! Hope for a green leaf lol

Since the white part of the plant is more fragile wouldn't a grow light hurt it, CharlotteAlyse?

#### CharlotteAlyse replied on 2023-07-21

It could. I’d direct it to the green leaf only

Update on Aug 18,2023: my syngonium albo gave me 1 leaf within 3 days once I added the humidifier! I am amazed. It is growing in my bathroom sink under grow light with the humidifier. 😀
