    It looks great! Is it a pink allusion? The pink veins look like my plant. I can’t find fault with it!😁 The plant may not continue to put out new growth at a broken vine especially if it breaks close to the soil line. It may put energy at other locations. Seeing healthy new growth anywhere on the plant is a good sign.

    Some syngoniums like to put out fast growing vines to seek water or light. The leaf nodes on these vines can be several inches apart with small or no leaves. It means it lacks sufficient water or light. Your plant is the type with thicker vines that grow up, then, bend if it gets too heavy instead of the thinner vines that are flexible that dangle if they can’t find a support structure to climb. A good example is my syngonium rayii with its delicate leaves and thin vines. This plant is definitely root bound, is lacking light and needs watering mist of the time. I underwater this when it was struggling. It got healthy and put out vibes to seek water and more light. I just twirl it on a stick and it’s not happy. I will repot.

      Your plant is happy. So, no long vines desperately seeking light and water like my Rayii. You can repot yours and add rooting hormone to encourage growth.
