Syngonium angustatum
About Syngonium angustatum
Syngonium angustatum is a less common relative of the Arrowhead plant with beautiful arrowhead shaped leaves. You’ll often see these plants grown in their juvenile stage, but given something to climb on and abundant sunlight you may see them mature into their adult stage! The leaf shape changes as they mature and may even appear to split into three individual leaves. In the wild they can climb up to 65 feet tall. Be sure to handle them with care, as their sap contains oxalic acid which can be very irritating to the skin and eyes. 👀

How to fertilize Syngonium angustatum
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Syngonium angustatum after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

That moment when you have to stake your syngonium because it's getting hilariously top-heavy after a chop-N-prop a few months ago resulted in new growth points shooting off of every node along the main stem 😂😂 And yes, @A1duzit, this is all from the cutting you gave me 😂 #happyplants #syngoniumsquad #newgrowth #texasgreggang

What to #coplant with my #syngonium? Cyndi, my #MariaAlusion #syngonium seems like she needs some cosy friends so I was thinking of co-planting her with at least two other plants, maybe three: - #milkconfettisyngonium I'm thinking the contrast of the lighter coloured leaves with the pink splashes will be nice with the pinkness of the Maria Allusion. - #prayerplant So many colours and patterns! Suggestions welcome. - #alocasiazebrina For the varigated stems! - #foxtailfern aka #asparagusfern or #arecapalm - #nerveplant aka #fittonia ? Not sure about whether to go with a pink or white veined plant. Thoughts? I believe they all have the same watering needs. TIA #gregfam! #companionplanting

Besides over/under watering what else could cause yellow spots on leaves of my syngonium? Ever since I brought Ruby home, I have been struggling to help her get rid of her yellow spots on her leaves? I do believe I’m watering her correctly but the spotting persists. It primarily happens along leaf edges. Any advice would greatly be appreciated! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #SadPlant #GregGang #Syngonium #SyngoniumSquad #GreggersSupportingGreggers

I couldn’t wait for #FreshLeafFriday, I have #NewGrowth on so many plants! My Pink Splash Thai #Syngonium has a beautiful new leaf, with two more coming close behind! My #Alocasia Jungle Cat/Zebrina (still not sure) has a ✨huge✨ new leaf about to unfurl and I can’t wait! Another syngonium has a ton of new shiny leaves, as does my #PinkFleckedSyngonium! Calista (pic no. 4) has 6 new leaves all in the past ten days! She is BUSY! And I wanted to share an update on the root regrowth on my #TigerToothAloe; she lost all her roots back when I was an inexperienced newbie to succulents, and I’ve been patiently trying to root her in water. Well, I added a little bit of the Grow formula from We the Wild (not sponsored but would be, gladly, lol!), and they really got going! I now have multiple nice, long roots. I think at this rate, she willl be ready for repotting in another month 🤗🪴🥳 #SyngoniumSquad #RootPorn #ArrowheadPlant #GregGang #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #PlantTherapy #PLANTMAFIA #babevila

My arrowhead new baby leaves are turning brown before unfurling :( I mist frequently but the baby leaves are still coming through with brown spots and tips, any ideas how I can rectify this? I've never had much luck with this type of plant :(

Helppppp… what’s the little white thingys on Bentley? (Zoom in 😉) I googled Thrips, but I’m not sure. Whatever it is it’s not moving, it’s on most of the bigger leaves. Was going to repot it today and noticed. Thanks in advance 🫶🏽🪴 #help #Syngonium #ArrowheadPlant

What’s up with my Arrowhead’s curled leaf? Is this a new leaf? Or is this a sign that something isn’t going right and it’s unhappy? It looks new…
