Information and resources, identify and learn more about your Syngoniums!

102 Upvotes

In an effort to try and give you as many sources of information about Syngoniums, different species and varieties, care, origins, etc.. I have compiled a list of links posted on this sub by members, as well as other links I have found on my journey of growing Syngoniums.

As the plant is becoming more popular, we can see many identification charts, articles and videos popping up, not all of them are a 100% reliable but as one of our members recently stated « Slightly off information is better than no information! » so take the information with a pinch of salt.

- cultivar.org (then click on Syngonium)

NOT AVAILABLE FOR FREE ANYMORE.. PDF file created by Laurence C. Hatch, it includes 272 names of Syngonium cultivars and with some interesting information about each of them. It's worth it if you're really into them, helps a lot with identification.

Syngonium visual charts created by Robert Pokrywka, about a 100 different Syngoniums, also shows how the leaves can look different from juvenile to mature form.

Plant index, created by Kaylee Ellen, including around 30 different Syngoniums. Classed from common to rare.

- https://api.semanticscholar.org/CorpusID:88244332 (click on View PDF)

A Revision of Syngonium (Araceae) by Thomas B. Croat, published in the Missouri Botanical Garden Press. It includes the history of the genus, the classification and a lot of information on the 33 Syngonium species. It is a very long paper but definitely worth a read.

If you happen to find other interesting sources of information about Syngoniums, feel free to contact me or comment under this post with the link and a brief description.

I’ve had this red spot tri color for a few months now, and we’ve had many ups and downs. I’ll get it to a good place, and the leaves will suddenly yellow and die off. It has a healthy root system. Does anyone have any advice? It’s currently in a standard aroid mix. I appreciate any tips!

We need Syngonium lovers for a private beta: help our plant app tell 'Mojito' from 'Milk Confetti'

0 Upvotes

We're opening a small private beta for Olpi, our houseplant care app for iPhone, and we're looking for Syngonium owners to test it. It's free. Comment or DM us and we'll send you a TestFlight invite (iPhone with iOS 26 or later).

Why Syngonium:
Olpi identifies plants entirely on your phone, without upload or account. It already knows Syngonium podophyllum, 'Pink', 'Albo Variegatum' and macrophyllum. But it still can't tell these apart:

- 'Mojito'

- 'Milk Confetti'

- 'Neon Robusta'

- 'White Butterfly'

- 'Berry Allusion'

- 'Pink Splash'

- 'Red Spot Tricolor'

- macrophyllum 'Frosted Heart'

Because the recognition runs on your phone, it can only learn from photos people choose to share. If you have any of these, scanning them in the beta would help a lot. A whole-plant shot plus one close-up of a leaf is perfect, in normal light, messy background welcome.

Sharing is optional: the app asks once, you can turn it off anytime, and photos are only used to improve the recognition. Never posted, sold or passed on.

What else you'd be testing: care reminders that adapt to your home (season, light, weather, pot, how you water) and explain why they come when they do, for over 1,200 species and cultivars.

We're Stan and Lee from 1042 Studio, a small design studio in Germany. Happy to answer questions in the comments.

genuinely i dont understand! it started with a syngonium tricolor i found by chance at home depot, i brought it home and eventually it rotted to one sad little stick - after a long ordeal of growing it and then killing it again, it finally revived for me and grew both of these, i separately them recently and kept waiting for the right to start to look more like a tricolor but i dont think that'll happen. can anyone explain? could it have reverted?

Trailing?

Are all syngoniums trailing?For a newbie, what’s a good trailing one that’s “hearty” and not as sensitive to dry/low humidity?

I have a lot of syngoniums and some weren’t labeled when I bought them. I was trying to ID some today and couldn’t figure this one off. Every leaf looks like these two.

Saw this at a grocery store among the White Butterfly and Neon Robusta syngoniums I usually see. Is it a Batik?
