Propagation requires a node — the point where leaves and aerial roots emerge.

Look for a node with a leaf + aerial root nub.

Avoid leggy, damaged, or all‑white leaves (for variegated types).

Choose a section with at least 1–2 nodes for best success.

Cut below the node to create a viable propagation segment.

Use sterile scissors or pruning shears.

Cut ½ inch below the node.

Remove lower leaves so none sit in water or soil.

Syngonium roots easily in both mediums.

Water: Place the node fully submerged, leaves above water.

Soil: Plant the node 1–2 inches deep in moist, airy mix.

Keep in bright, indirect light.

Consistent moisture and warmth encourage fast rooting.

Keep water fresh; change every 5–7 days.

For soil, keep lightly moist — not soggy.

Maintain temps 70–80°F and moderate humidity.

Roots typically appear within 1–3 weeks depending on variety and conditions.

Look for white, healthy roots 1–2 inches long.

Remove any rotting leaves or stems.

Keep light bright but indirect to prevent melt.

Once roots are established, the cutting is ready for soil.

Transfer to a small pot with well‑draining aroid mix.

Water lightly after planting.

Provide support if you want it to climb.
