About Syngonium 'Milk Confetti'
Syngonium podophyllum is a popular, easy-to-care-for houseplant 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 'Milk Confetti'
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 'Milk Confetti' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Could the pot be overcrowded? This one is growing fast & I’m noticing some stems seem sad. Could the pot be overcrowded? Unfortunately this was one of my newest babies so it’s not in a nursery pot. Should I repot and separate her or move her to a different location? #Syngonium #milkconfettisyngonium #NewGrowth

Here’s an update on my Syngonium milk confetti! I added a trellis for some support. I also put a small humidifier next to them. I hope this helps it to stop flopping over. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #PlantCorner #PlantShelfie #BeforeAndAfter #PlantLove #TropicalPlants #ThanksForPhotosynthesis #Variegated #Syngonium #SyngoniumMilkConfetti #Trellis

Syngonium help Does anyone know why my Syngonium milk confetti is flopping over like this? I have been watering it when the soil is dry and i give it a good soak then let it drain till next time it’s dry. Nothing major has changed for it. It’s always kinda been like this so I think I’m doing something wrong. #Syngonium #SyngoniumSquad #syngoniumsunday #SyngoniumMilkConfetti #help #helpneeded #HelpfulSuggestions

What kind of bug is this? #PestControl I’m low key a stalker to make sure my babies are ok and saw tiny white bugs on Tiffany about 2 weeks ago. Hosed her down, treated her with spray and granules. Noticed them back today, but I haven’t been able to figure out what type of bug it is and they are only on spot ever! I caught one on tissue today. What kind of bug does this look like? Also, plant is still growing and seems to be fine. I’m so confused #PestsAndPlants control

Leaves are curled on my milk confetti I’ve read this plant needs lots of humidity so I had it outside (I’m in SE Texas near the gulf) and some of the leaves uncurled but there are still a number of leaves that are curled up. I’ve brought it back inside with my other plants and put it on a pebble tray and misted it a few times but still have curled leaves. It seems healthy otherwise #Syngonium #SyngoniumSquad #GreggersSupportingGreggers #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SyngoniumMilkConfetti

Help! 😭 My Syngonium Milk Confetti has aphids. Thankfully she was not beside any other plants. She has a loner spot on my kitchen island. I still isolated the plant until I find out when I need to do. What is the best remedy to get rid of those little buggies? #Syngonium #help #PestsAndPlants

Make sure that the petioles, located at the base of the stalks, are white. That seems to be a major indicator when differentiating between milk confetti and confetti syngonium.

Such a beautiful plant! Mine didn’t ship well, came with mild spider mites and in a pot too large. As a result it’s leaves slowly browned and fell off but it’s making a gradual come back now!
