How to Propagate a Syngonium
The easy guide to propagating a Syngonium
Weather you have a white butterfly, a neon allusion or an albo, this is the easy step by step guide to propagating a Syngonium.
- Collect your Supplies
Only a few supplies are needed to get started:
- A node
- Sharp clean sheers
- Rooting hormone, also available at most major hardware stores
- Small pot with any standard potting soil
2. Locate the Node
The node is a small brown area on the plant stem from where a leaf emerges. Once you locate a node using the sharp clean sheers, make a cut about half an inch under the node. The cutting needs to have at least one node and two leaves for best growth.
3. Rooting Hormone Dip
RH is a mixture of plant hormones that stimulate the growth of a plant cutting. It’s also very easy to use! Dip the node in water and immediately dip directly into the container of RH a bit pass the node. Tap off the excess powder back in to the container.
4. Plant
Dig out a small hole in the potting soil, enough to insert the cutting a bit pass the node. Place cutting in the hole and cover. Water generously.
Let it grow!
Keep the cutting moist and in indirect light. In about 3-4 weeks the plant will be fully rooted. If you have a need to check, gentely pull on stem if it feels firmly rooted in the soil, it is! Now enjoy your free plant.
