Syngonium is an attractive plant of the Aroid family, which can often be found in apartments and houses of modern florists. But it so happened that people are used to hanging labels on indoor flowers in the form of certain superstitions. The same fate has not spared the syngonium - the signs and superstitions associated with this charming and unpretentious vine, unfortunately, do not always carry a positive meaning.
Types of syngonium for an apartment
Syngonium growing at home has 3 varieties, but there are more than 20 of them in nature.
Auricular (auricular) - a liana with climbing branches, no more than 2.5 cm thick.It forms air roots in internodes. The shape of the leaves resembles three to five sagging ears. They are dense, bright green in color.
Wendland is a slow-growing vine with velvety leaves. The leaves are large, dark green, with a silvery vein in the center.
Leg-leaved - strongly branching liana. This variety greatly changes the shape of the leaves as it grows. Over time, the leaf plates are dissected into 5-11 segments. It is the most popular indoor syngonium. They have a variegated color, which is clearly visible in numerous photos of the syngonium.
On the basis of these species, flower growers are constantly developing new varieties of syngonium. Some of them are compact, others in color or leaf shape.
Syngonium wendlandii
In the lower and middle tier of the subtropical forests of Costa Rica, the Wendland or Wendland syngonium, named after the famous botanist and naturalist, lives. Tapered leaf plates are divided into three parts, and much less than the central one. The main vein of a dense, slightly velvety leaf is shaded with a white brushstroke.
Although in beauty and unpretentiousness this plant is not inferior to other types of syngonium for home cultivation, it is rarely found on window sills.
Autumn winter
- Lighting. Diffused light. Sometimes artificial lighting is needed.
- Temperature. + 17 ° С - + 18 ° С.
- Humidity. Spraying no more than twice every 7-10 days.
- Watering Minimum watering.
- Fertilizers. Not needed.
- Transfer
Until the flowers are 5 years old, they are transplanted annually in the spring. Adult plants are once every 2-4 years.
Syngonium care at home
Despite the fact that in the homeland of the room liana is much warmer than ours, it does not like either bright sun, or excessive watering, or fanatical ventilation of the room. Everything should be in moderation.
Lighting
First of all, the syngonium needs to be sheltered from direct sunlight. In hot summer, it is better to put an evergreen perennial in partial shade (this is especially true for plants with green leaves), in winter to provide, though brighter, but still diffused light. If the syngonium is not provided with optimal lighting conditions, the leaves will wither from the bright sun, and wither from the lack of light. A signal that there is more than enough light will be the faded color of the leaves. Lack of lighting will turn the shiny gloss of the leaf into a dull matte finish.
[!] If the leaves of varietal syngoniums began to turn green and lose their characteristic pattern, the plant does not have enough light. Place the vine in a brighter place or create artificial lighting using phytolamps.
Temperature
The temperature for comfortable growth and development of a plant in summer can range from 20 to 25 degrees, in winter from 18 to 20. Only a slowly growing liana allows the temperature to drop to 16 degrees. The syngonium can even withstand a short stay in a room in which the temperature has dropped to 10 degrees - this is the maximum limit. But none of the types and varieties of decorative vines will want to coexist with heating devices (heating radiators, electric heaters) or stand in a draft. All this dries up the plant and causes all sorts of diseases.
Air humidity, watering
It's humid in the tropics. The love for high humidity is encoded in the very essence of the syngonium. The soil in which the vine lives in the apartment must be watered as soon as its top crust dries up. In this case, in no case should water be left in the pan: it should not stagnate - otherwise the rhizome will suffer. For watering, only well-settled, filtered and soft water is suitable, which is poured into the flower pot in generous portions.
To increase the humidity of the air, you can put a container with water next to the flower pot, water vapor will have a beneficial effect on the health of the syngonium. In addition, the plant should be sprayed, if not daily, then at least twice a week.
In the summer, a light daily two-time shower will not hurt. It should be done exclusively with boiled (and, of course, chilled) water. From the usual - from the tap - the leaves and stems can get sick.
In winter, it is necessary to reduce water procedures. So, watering should be moderate (two to three days after the top crust of the soil has dried), and the shower can be replaced with a weekly wet wiping with a soft cloth or sponge.
Syngonium leaves will signal about a lack of moisture with their drying tips, withered "rusty" spots, about an excess of moisture - by tarnishing. If there is an excess of moisture in the room itself, “dew” appears on the tips of the leaves - wet droplets.
Soil, top dressing
In the flower pot in which you put the climbing perennial, there should be loose soil that allows both air and water to pass freely. You can make it yourself by mixing peat, leafy soil, sand and turf soil in equal proportions. In addition, you can use ready-made soil for monsters (and other aroids) or universal nutrient soil. For more looseness and breathability, you need to add a little coconut fiber to the substrate.
The soil must be fed, they do it mainly in spring and summer. Two times a week will be quite enough, in early autumn the feeding should be reduced to once. Better to use organic fertilizer or liquid mineral fertilizer. Suitable feeding for deciduous ornamental plants with a minimum calcium content. From late autumn to the end of winter, syngonium does not need a vitamin cocktail, however, if the leaves of the plant turn yellow, it may lack nutrients. In this case, feeding must be resumed, regardless of the season.
Transplant, reproduction
For transplantation and reproduction of vines (and this is usually done in spring or early summer), the top of the cutting is used with a part of the shoot, on which at least one bud is clearly visible.
Before placing the stalk in the ground, the perennial takes root. The simplest way is a container with water, where a tablet of ordinary activated carbon is previously dissolved, which can be freely purchased at a pharmacy. You can also use a wet mixture of sand and peat for rooting. The main thing is to cover the future liana with a transparent plastic bag with holes (so that the syngonium does not suffocate) and control the air temperature, preventing it from rising above 27 degrees Celsius.
It is best to decide in advance, during potting, which plant shape you want to see. So, for example, if you want to get one climbing plant, then pour a generous drainage layer into the pot - the basis for which the roots will hold. Put a plastic or, say, beech tube wrapped in sphagnum moss there (later, the vine will beautifully wrap around the support). After pouring out a third of the harvested soil after that, plant the sprout, carefully straightening the thin roots. The rest of the soil should be poured over the roots, lightly tamping. After these simple manipulations, the plant needs to be watered, and all fertilizers should be excluded for at least two weeks.
If you plan to get a lush bush of a climbing perennial, it is better to plant several cuttings that have taken root in one flowerpot. This seating option looks especially impressive in a hanging planter. Low-growing, compact varieties of syngonium, planted with a bush, look great in voluminous bowls or oblong boxes.
[!] You can plant several varieties of syngonium in one container. The resulting flower arrangements can be very effective.
To make the foliage of a young creeper thicker, it is pinched over every sixth leaf in the process of growth. After wintering, it is necessary to carefully thin out the low-quality growth.
The signal for the transplantation of two-year-old or three-year-old plants is a "cocked" drain hole. As soon as the roots are visible from it, the vine is moved to a new "apartment".
Reproduction methods
The syngonium flower is easily propagated by apical and stem cuttings.
For a successful transplant, it is better to use shoots with multiple buds. A distinctive feature of the syngonium is the rapid growth of the root system.
The stalk that has given roots must be transplanted into new soil. Drizzle liberally and cover with a bag or plastic container. This will create a small greenhouse.
Description
The syngonium flower (called Singonium in Latin) is classified as a home climbing ornamental deciduous plant, although it is still found in the tropics today. Syngonium grows in Central and South America, where it stretches up to 20 meters in length. In the conditions of an apartment, its growth slows down significantly and does not exceed 2 meters. Every year the house plant adds at least 30 cm and gives new leaves.
The thickness (diameter) of the flower stem depends on its age:
- In young plants, it does not exceed a few mm;
- in adults it is approximately 6 cm;
- the diameter of a growing plant is on average 1 to 2 cm.
The stem of a young flower has a green color, which eventually turns pale and completely disappears. If the plant has not been damaged, no branches will form on it. It seems that the vine is flexible and the stem will easily regain its shape with strong compression, but this is not entirely true. It breaks easily when twisted and pressed.
On a note!
There are syngoniums, the stems of which are protected by natural wax.
Vine roots are of two types: nourishing and airy. The flower needs the air to hold on to the support, along which it crawls to the side or up, with them it clings to the ground. Nourishing roots, as the name suggests, provides the vine with all the nutrients it needs. Such roots differ even externally. They are thicker (large-diameter vessels pass through them) and grow slightly sideways, deviating from the stem.
In the classification of syngoniums, its types and varieties are distinguished, based on the type of leaf plate:
- Singonium includes those plants, the adult leaves of which are divided into 3 or more equal leaves.
- The Cordatum species has flowers with leaves in an oval or oval-oblong shape.
- Oblongatum - such syngoniums, the leaves of which are oblong, oblong-elliptical and elliptical-oval.
- Pinnatilobum includes only one plant with feather-shaped leaves.
Pests and ways to deal with them
Scale - lives on both sides of the leaf and stems of the plant. The appearance of the scabbard leads to drying out of the leaves and further death of the plant.
First, you need to remove all visible pests with a toothbrush, cotton swab and soap suds. Then rinse well under a warm shower. Then the plant is sprayed with actellik and put in a bag for several days. After that, it is necessary to rinse the plant well again.
Aphid - lives on the lower part of the leaves. When infected with aphids, the leaves curl, turn pale and fall off.
If only a few leaves are affected by aphids, it is best to simply cut them off. If the whole plant is infected, then the phytoverm preparation helps.

Thrips - beige spots first appear on the bottom of the leaf, but over time they darken. Another feature is that thrips secrete a silvery secret. The plant must be treated with agrovertine, or phytoverm.
Syngonium macrophyllum
Among the botanical rarities in indoor collections is the large-leaved syngonium, which grows wild in forests from Mexico to Ecuador. Externally, the plants resemble leg-leaved syngonium, but much more powerful, and their young castings have a pointed-heart-shaped shape.
Under natural conditions, a large liana, with the help of aerial roots, perfectly masters the middle and upper tier of the tropical forest. In the house, this type of syngonium does not reach this size and shows itself as a picky, decorative leafy culture for spacious shaded rooms.
Causes of major problems
- with insufficient nutrition of the earth, the leaves of the syngonium become smaller;
- if the air is not humid enough, then the leaves will begin to dry out;
- with excessive moisture, the leaves of the plant will begin to turn yellow.
Beneficial features
Syngonium does not belong to medicinal and edible plants, however, in nature there are varieties that local residents eat. You cannot eat a home flower (it causes poisoning), and its juice, getting on the skin, leads to irritation or even burns.
It is necessary to take care of domestic syngoniums (cut, pick off leaves, transplant), observing safety precautions, that is, strictly wearing rubber gloves so that not a single drop of poisonous juice gets on unprotected skin.
Influence on the atmosphere in the house
Since ancient times, it has been common for man to endow the objects of the living and inanimate world with secret properties. In the 80s, which was the peak of the popularity of domestic vines, it was believed that these plants should not live in an apartment. It was believed that they bring misfortune, disease.
Note!
Modern flower growers, on the contrary, argue that the advantages of this decorative flower include its positive effect on the energy of the house.
Syngonium, in their opinion, is capable of:
- absorb negative emotions of a person;
- let them pass through yourself;
- to give the owners extremely positive energy, thanks to which the general background in the home improves.
The ancient Chinese teachings of Feng Shui describe houseplants whose leaves resemble arrows, that is, they have a sharp end, as unfavorable to the general background of the room. Feng Shui teaches that flowers with such leaves give off "poisonous breath" and poison a person's life. Believe it or not believe it is a purely personal matter.
Impact on emotional state
As you know, the emotional state of a person is influenced by many factors, one of which is “the weather in the house”. Lines, in particular, syngonium are capable of:
- reduce or relieve daytime stress;
- calm the person down before going to bed.
Purified, humidified air in the room fills the skin with moisture and has a beneficial effect on the quality of sleep.
Is it worth keeping the syngonium at home
It has been scientifically proven that syngonium effectively removes xylene, phenol and formaldehyde from the ambient air. It is believed that this plant protects the inhabitants of the house from nightmares, brings good luck and gives confidence.
However, it is worth remembering that syngonium juice is poisonous. The plant must be kept away from small children.
Syngonium narrowed (Syngonium angustatum)
Unlike other types of syngonium for growing at home, the leaves of the narrowed syngonium can not be divided into 3-5 into a much larger number of segments. The South American liana perfectly adapts to life in a limited pot and can reach several meters in length under indoor conditions.
Signs, superstitions and the history of growing syngonium
During its use in indoor floriculture, the syngonium has acquired a considerable number of folk signs and superstitions. Among them there are those who approve of growing vines in the house and those who advise refraining from acquiring a green pet.
Positive signs about the syngonium are as follows:
- The guardian of family happiness. The flower radiates positive energy and absorbs all negativity.
- The ability of a plant to transform itself contributes to the transformation of people. Vine owners are changing for the better.
- Syngonium helps to “burn bridges”. It promotes painless separation from an unpleasant past.
- Home doctor. It is believed that the flower contributes to the early cure of its owner from diseases.
- Night watchman. The plant intercepts nightmares and bad dreams, allowing the owner to enjoy a healthy sleep.
The following negative signs are associated with the maintenance of a flower in the house:
- Muzhegonny means. According to popular beliefs, the flower in every possible way survives men from their home.
- Poisonous breath. The Chinese believe that this plant poisons the life of the rest of the household. However, it should be noted that the natives of the Celestial Empire endow all plants with arrow-shaped leaves with this property.
Syngonium came to Europe from the tropics of America. The flower's striking appearance attracted everyone's attention, and soon it became very popular among flower growers. The name of the plant is translated from Latin as "union of seed and bud". It indicates the peculiarity of the vine to reliably hide the embryos of seeds in the ovary.
Application in landscape design
The uniqueness of an ornamental tropical plant lies in its versatility, elegance, and the ability to fit into any interior. If the stems of the syngonium do not find a suitable support, it grows as a ground cover or freely hangs its shoots down. This property of the plant is used when growing syngonium in hanging pots, creating beautiful ampelous ensembles.
When installing a vertical support, you can achieve the formation of a certain shape of the plant. By pulling the ropes from the flowerpot along the wall, a beautiful green vertical carpet is obtained over time. With its presence, the syngonium will decorate any room.
Folk beliefs
The signs associated with this plant are both positive and negative, some of them promise well-being in the family, while others warn: the flower has negative energy. The most popular plant species (leg-leaved, pink, brocant, confetti) are linked by the same legends and superstitions.
Positive
- During its life, the plant is transformed, like this, the people around it are transformed: skeptics and conservatives begin to look at the world from a new angle,not being afraid to try something new and previously unknown.
- If a person is far from being a conservative and not at all a skeptic, but dreams of burning all the bridges behind him and starting a new life, it's time to think about purchasing a syngonium. It is believed that it is this liana that is able to get rid of the severity of the past.
- Finding a place for a plant in your home is also necessary for those who are often sick. Some beliefs say that the flower scares away diseases.
- Thinking about purchasing a syngonium is also necessary for those who suffer from nightmares. It is believed that if you put this amazing plant in your room, bad dreams will bypass you.
- For insecure people struggling with indecision, it is just right to settle a pot of syngonium in their house. Some beliefs say that the plant is really capable of helping people to establish and maintain social bonds.
- The good news for anyone learning something new is that having this green friend at home is believed to enhance the absorption of information. It is not surprising that students are happy to settle this flower at home, because it requires minimal personal care.
Negative
The Syngonium is really beautiful and quite picky, so what stops florists from adding it to their green collection? In addition to favorable beliefs, the plant has gathered around itself negative superstitions, which make amateur gardeners abandon the idea of having a flower at home.
It's believed that syngonium is able to expel men from the house... However, many indoor vines have received the same notoriety. In defense of the syngonium, the regulars of various forums about domestic plants speak out, many refute this prejudice and say that men are in no hurry to leave their families.
Formation of the crown of the syngonium
The possibility of independent crown formation is one of the advantages of growing syngonium. If the grower has experience in handling this plant, the vine becomes a pliable "line" in the hands of a master who knows his business. There are a number of pruning guidelines that allow you to get a variety of shapes. Liana can be turned into a beautiful climbing flower, ball, dense bush and even a tree.
If the syngonium is planned to be grown as a climbing plant, only 1 vine is placed in the pot. Every spring, excess shoots are cut off from it, which spoil the appearance. If additional volume is required, you should pinch certain shoots from the 6th leaf. New shoots will appear at the pinching site.
Curly syngonium
Liana can be grown as a green ball suspended from the ceiling. To do this, when transplanting, 1 or more supports are inserted into the pots. Plastic or bamboo tubes are used. The support should look out of the pot by 10-15 cm. For greater effect, several plants can be placed in one planter at once. Lianas are allowed to curl along the supports. Excess shoots are removed in the spring.
Syngonium can be grown in a compact bush. For this, several plants are placed in one pot at once. All the tops of the shoots are cut, starting from the 7th leaf. This pruning helps to achieve maximum bushiness.
To grow syngonium in the form of a tree, perform the following steps:
- Coconut fiber is filled with sphagnum moss and rolled up in a tube.
- The resulting support is fixed in the tub when the plant is transplanted.
- The vine is wrapped around a support, directing its aerial roots to the coconut fiber.
Crown formation
The plant clings to the support with its adventitious roots, twisting around it. Poor-quality shoots are pruned every spring. Sphagnum moss is systematically moistened. Thus, additional nutrition is provided for the adventitious roots.
Features of growing in the house
Cultivating a plant in an apartment does not cause problems, but a number of nuances should be studied.
Landing
The planting of syngonium is carried out in a small container with drainage holes.
To obtain the splendor of the plant, several shoots are planted in one pot at the same time.
This variety of liana can be used as an ampelous plant if its stems are allowed to hang freely from the pot. The formation of the crown will allow you to become the owner of a kind of tree.
Advice! To get the shape of a tree, when planting in the ground, you should install a reliable support that will allow the liana to crawl up.
Transfer
Transplantation of young specimens is carried out every spring., but as they grow older, the interval between procedures increases. For a successful transplant, the following steps should be followed:
- place expanded clay at the bottom of the planting tank as a drainage layer;
- pour over loose and fertile soil with weak acidity - a soil mixture of turf, sand and peat;
- using the transshipment technique to avoid damage to the roots, complete the perennial transplant.
Attention! An adult in the tropics needs a transplant after the roots emerge from the drainage holes.
Care
Taking care of the plant is quite simple. The love of flower growers for the syngonium is caused by it unpretentiousness, rapid growth and vitality.
- Lighting. The flower needs a long period of scattered light. Placing a pot on the windows on the west or east side, one should not forget about protecting the creeper from the scorching sun at its zenith.
- Temperature conditions. Throughout the year, with the exception of the winter season, when the value can be reduced to 18 ° C, the optimal temperature is between 22 and 25 ° C.
- Watering and humidity. A tropical vine needs a high level of humidity, systematic watering and spraying. Spraying of shoots is carried out daily with purified water at room temperature. The soil should be watered with the same water at short intervals: the soil should not dry out deeper than 3 cm. Regular moisture allows the plant to more easily cope with air drought.
- Top dressing. Fertilizers in the form of aqueous solutions of special mineral complexes for ornamental plants are applied under the crop at a distance from the stems. Top dressing can be carried out from mid-spring to mid-autumn.
- Pruning. Lana has good pruning tolerance. For the first time, shoots are pinched after the formation of three pairs of leaves. Any branch can be shortened if necessary. If the stem has become too old and bare, then pruning promotes the development of young lateral shoots.
- Protection against diseases and pests. A native of the tropics has a well-developed immunity to diseases and pests. However, in case of improper care for a long time, it is affected by powdery mildew, and such harmful insects as spider mites, scale insects or mealybugs are noted on the foliage. If detected, protective measures should be taken - hot shower up to 45C and treatment with Actellik or Aktara insecticide.
How to propagate
Syngonium is one of the flowers, about which they say "stuck in the ground, and he put down roots." Thanks to the aerial root system located along the entire length of the lash, it is not difficult to divide it into segments and plant it.
Care must be taken when planting. Poisonous milky sap appears on the cut or break, and therefore work with gloves. For the same reason, the pet is kept out of the reach of children and animals.
Reproduction is carried out in two ways:
With apical cuttings, the upper part with two leaves and a root node is cut off. They put it in a solution with a growth stimulator for a short time.
Meanwhile, they are preparing the land for transplanting. It is made up of peat and sand in a 1: 1 ratio. The process is deepened into the soil mixture, covered with a film, creating a greenhouse effect.
To avoid decay of greenery, the greenhouse is ventilated daily for 3-5 minutes. After three weeks, the film is removed.
Rooting cuttings is the second method of propagation. In order not to make mistakes when growing "kids", inexperienced growers are advised to watch a video tutorial. The stem is cut into segments, and each should have two growth buds.
For several hours they are soaked in a solution of root or a mixture of water and activated carbon (a tablet for 0.5 liters of water). Then the processed material is spread horizontally into a pot with a substrate and a greenhouse is created, covered with glass or polyethylene. When the first roots appear, the sprouts are transplanted to a permanent place.
Flowering and fruiting
Unfortunately, you can see how this tropical liana blooms only in its natural places of growth. This happens in late spring, in May. The syngonium flower is an ear of light cream color, half, as if in a niche, hidden by a wide veil painted in red or pink. The pollination pattern is cross-pollination. In place of the ear, a large juicy fruit gradually ripens, which has a cylindrical or ovoid shape and a strong aroma that attracts monkeys. Inside contains up to a hundred seeds, which are carried over long distances thanks to the animals that feed on these fruits.
Virulence As a typical representative of the Aroid family, liana contains toxic milky juice, which can cause skin irritation, eczema, allergies, and if ingested, laryngeal edema and problems with housing and communal services. It is found in all parts of the plant, in secretory cells, lactariuses, etc. The poisonous sap protects the plant from being eaten by animals, it causes swelling of the mucous membranes. The juice contains enzymes, proteins and aggressive oxalic acid. It is very dangerous if it gets into the eyes, the consequences develop in the form of conjunctivitis, in severe cases, an irreversible change in the cornea can begin.
You should always work with a flower with gloves, protecting your eyes from accidental splashes, and when placing a flowerpot in an apartment, place it in places inaccessible to children and pets.
The benefits of the plant
In addition to the decorative properties, a number of useful qualities are attributed to the syngonium. This plant regulates the level of humidity in the apartment, forming drops of water on the greenery, and saturates the air with oxygen.
The enzymes the flower secretes are believed to help calm the nerves and relieve stress. One thing is certain for sure - you need to be very careful with the juice of this plant. Due to its toxicity, it can cause an allergic reaction. But with the observance of precautions, this vine is not a danger.
Bright light, but not the sun
When choosing a place for a syngonium, remember some rules.
Some colorful inhabitants require good lighting, but not direct sunlight. With a lack of light, they lose their variegation.
Yet most lashes prefer diffused light, shaded areas. Due to the ingress of the sun, the plant may lose its colors, it will be faded and not beautiful.
The ideal option for any type will be east and west windows. Additional lighting is recommended in winter.
Popular varieties with photos
The work of breeders does not stand still, therefore the varietal variety of each species is constantly replenished. The main task is to breed varieties that combine three different shades.
The most interesting varieties:

Features of seasonal care
The syngonium does not have a well-defined rest period. But since the fall, all his life processes slow down. Therefore, caring for the vine requires correction. The number of waterings is gradually reduced, no fertilizing is applied.It is advisable to lower the temperature in the room a little (up to + 17..18 degrees). Spraying the leaves in winter is not recommended. Lighting must be adequate throughout the year. To extend the daylight hours for syngonium in winter, use additional illumination using a phytolamp or a fluorescent lamp.
Not complicated wisdom
When transplanting a bush, housewives need to be careful. An adult liana, despite its venerable age, remains fragile, its stem breaks easily.
But do not be upset if such a nuisance happens. A new shoot will soon grow from the broken part, and it is easy to grow a new individual from the broken segment, of course, if there are roots on it.
Young shoots need an annual transplant. If the creeper is more than three years old, she is given a larger flowerpot every 2-3 years.
The bushes are transplanted by the transshipment method, each time picking up a pot of a larger diameter. A layer of expanded clay is poured onto the bottom, light and loose soil is recommended.
Be sure to install a support. Use a moss tube or a stick wrapped in coconut fiber for this purpose.
In winter and autumn, with insufficient illumination, the shoots become frail and stretch out. You can refresh the plant, giving it splendor, by pinching the top. When forming the crown, the elongated lashes are shortened, cutting them to the nodal knee.
When the syngonium change to happiness
According to popular beliefs, the syngonium promises a happy married life, is the keeper of family peace and good luck. It absorbs negativity and sets up family members for positive communication. At the same time, in the changes in his appearance, positive-minded owners see an indication of the need to change something in his personal life, which will certainly have a positive effect on the quality of relations in the family. With growth, a change in color and a change in flower form, the life of its owners begins to change.
The Syngonium is considered the protector of the family from betrayal and betrayal.
It is recommended to keep this indoor flower at home for those who do not dare to say goodbye to the painful past, as well as for people with a conservative temperament who are afraid of a new one. This is due to the fact that the syngonium, according to popular beliefs, is endowed with the ability to give confidence to people who do not believe in their own strengths, which helps to overcome fears and doubts, to take the first step towards getting rid of old habits by embarking on changes.
Home syngonium is called a symbol of positive change. When he appears in the house, he accelerates the onset of positive changes in life, makes parting with the past less painful.
Superstition has endowed plants with medicinal properties. It is popularly considered a healer for insomnia and nightmares, as well as a plant that has the ability to accelerate the recovery of seriously ill patients. It is worth having a vine at home for people who do not dare to say goodbye to bad habits.
When household members are sick, it is useful to have a syngonium at home for their recovery.
The tropical plant is considered to be an assistant in gaining new knowledge and friends. It is recommended to grow it in a house where there are students, as well as people who avoid new acquaintances, who cannot quickly adapt to a new environment due to their shy nature and complexes.

Flower troubles
All greenhouse lovers face diseases of their pets. If dry brown spots appear on the leaves, then the bacterial infection has not passed it.
In the process of treatment, all damaged parts are removed, treated with a special preparation, the soil prepared for transplantation is watered with it and a flower is planted there.
For quarantine, the pot is taken away from the neighbors and treated with a pest repellent every ten days.
It happens that pests settle on a flower. To defeat spider mites, aphids and thrips, the leaves are treated with insecticide at weekly intervals.
They are saved from the scabbard by wiping with a solution of alcohol or soap, and then a pesticide is used. The key to successful pest control is the treatment of the territory where the plant lives with disinfectants.
When changing the syngonium hurts
According to negative superstitions, the syngonium:
- is a muzhegon and a man-hater who can destroy family relationships and drive all men out of the house, which is inherent in all liana-like plants,
- exudes poisonous breath, which, according to feng shui, is the negative energy emanating from the plant, which negatively affects the life of household members; the flower has an arrow-shaped foliage, and according to Chinese teaching, sharp corners are a source of bad energy.
