    As a bit of an old school house plant owner I'd like to remind some people variegated syngonium has been around for quite a while. The price is just been jacked up because of the house plant trend. Eventually it'll show up at Lowe's for $5. That's where I got mine about 15 years ago

    😍 this is pretty spot on! Though I had a melano cutting that I think was on the back foot to begin with and never really survived, so keen to try it again with a bigger specimen!
    I got a veitchii shipped in winter from Asia too, and it came in near perfect condition.
    Gloriosum for me is what started my aroid love, yes it depends on the individual plant you get and how strong they are to begin with but most acclimatise quite easily to your home environment and push out healthy growth.
    Syngonium variegated is amazing! Literally before another leaf has unfurled it’s already working on a new one, plus the anticipation of waiting for what pattern of variegation you’ll get next is thrilling 🥰

    Thanks for the video, great content! Got an El Choco about 2 months ago and it hasn’t done a thing. You mentioned kick starting it, but how do you do that?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the amazing informations. What about the blue Amydrium? Mine is "leggy" so no new leaves, only stems. What's wrong ?

    So would, the care of gloriousum, be similar the melanochrysum and vurricousum?

    I really love all these plants, but they are very expensive in Canada...all costing over $100 Canadian. Is that price normal?
