I got my plant a couple weeks ago and I got about a week ...
I got my plant a couple weeks ago and I got about a week until I get paid. I’m using ground up egg shells, coffee grounds, cucumber water. I’ve had to cut a few brown parts off. I had to move the plant cause the leaves were turning pale it’s now near a humidifier cause I have AC due to breathing problems. This is my first plant and was given to me so I’m kinda nervous
1ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 2 hours ago

Stop putting coffee grounds and egg shells and cucumber water on it. Why exactly were you using those things? Let the soil almost completely dry out between waterings, Syngoniums don't like sitting in soggy soil. And avoid YouTube videos telling you to do this and that, there's a lot of bad info out there, some borders on ridiculous. Just use common sense and let your plant do its thing.
@AceCyclamen52 ok, I was just going based off the cucumber water, eggshells, and coffee grounds and you saying you doom googled lol
@AceCyclamen52 I know what doom searching means, I was just using YouTube and TikTok as examples of places full of bad plant care info. I am curious what plant care site told you to use egg shells, coffee grounds, and cucumber water though
I don’t even know anymore. I do remember them saying don’t use all the time. I remember it saying that it said this could be used as a temporary compost thing like I said I used it once and it didn’t really do much so I was like I’m not wasting the time pulling out the blender to ground up eggshells and keep coffee grounds around I’ll just buy a bottle of liquid plant food some new soil and a new pot. I might not need the liquid plant food right away, but at least I’ll have it.
