Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Late Spring
They do pretty well when planred in small pots, however if you are watering more frequently or growth has slowed (and you want more), repot into a bigger pot during Spring using any standard compost mix. The soil should be light and free draining. In sub-tropical cilmates, this vine will grow well in dappled shade given adequate support on which to climb
Propagation by cuttings
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
Propagating a Syngonium is easy peasy. You can root cuttings in water, or straight into potting compost. Both methods have a good success rate - providing you cut the right part of the plant. You want a new growth shoot that either has one or two leaves already, (or the formation of one). Follow the growth shoot downwards several inches until you reach a pair of "nodes", these are a set of two small bumps (one on each side of the stem). The cut needs to be made just a few centimeters below the nodes because this is where the new roots come from
