How to Propagate a Syngonium Podophyllum Albo-Variegatum - 3 Month Update (Water to LECA)

[@gamecock4ever1]

I wanted to know how to cut and propagate mine and this video was perfect. I’ll watch more of your videos because you are more to the point and you don’t repeat yourself over and over. Thank you.

[@PleaseDonateTortoise]

I love syngonium albos and this encouraged me to chop mines to the stem because lately she has been only shooting out white leaves

[@aromagirls8736]

Wow the mother plant is absolutely gorgeous. Congratulations on your new growth

[@JasmineAlondra-uz3oy]

I’ve been needing to chop and prop my Albo Syngonium but super nervous about! Your video really helped ease some of that with the progress of the mother! I was the most worried about what would happen to the mama plant but now I’m excited! Thank you so much!

[@gubbanja]

Wow! The motherplant is SO beautiful!

[@kevin.]

Haha I was so shocked to see it! 🤣

[@evicaf4e]

I am always amazed at how quick you chop the plant, the courage is real 😁 and the outcome with the plant full as this is everything.

[@kevin.]

Haha I think I just got used to it 😂 but also I know that this syngoniums are fast growers so I felt confident 🤣. I still have so much anxiety propagating anthuriums 😬

[@evicaf4e]

@@kevin. that is true, but you also did it with Florida ghost, which is more risky, because of the whiteness of the leaves, so kuddos to you!! 😁 ohh I believe you, Anthiriums are more complicated to propagate... you can not miss any step, otherwise it is amess.

[@kevin.]

Haha that's true 😬. Thanks! I like to go big or go home I guess 😜

[@bluechomp10]

Such a helpful video! I'll be chopping and propagating my Syngonium Albo, too. Hope the same thing happens to my mother plant. Yours is so gorgeous!!

[@oliviafo5224]

Omg my albo is leggy 1 stemmed like your before and it's so long but I just want it bushy.. I was scared to do it but you've excited me to commit to it ! My mother plant has good roots too. Thanks for the confidence boost!

[@ramenchuu]

Beautiful plant, I never liked syngonoums before but seeing through someone else's perspective of their beauty helped open my eyes. I now own 1 and have 2 in the mail coming in 😁

[@kevin.]

Oh so exciting!!!!

[@catt698]

Omg the mother plant at the end just wow!

[@kimm8981]

I am so glad you included the mother plant! I was thinking of chopping and propping mine but I was scared the mother plant would suffer.

[@kevin.]

I think the key was that this plant had such a big healthy root system. I find that my syngoniums usually send out a number of new growth points below the point I cut. Hopefully your chop & prop goes well!! ☺

[@gretalin6952]

You are tempting me to chop off my entire plant!!

[@Aquamarine.Aubrey]

That mother plant did awesome! I love your videos! 💚

[@wilmagermie2686]

You have inspired me to prop my syng albo ❤

[@_niush_ink_]

i just chopped off three pieces of mine, hope the small mother plant will grow a bit wider and i get some nice roots 🙏

[@sarahsez9917]

I really enjoyed this video and learned alot! I'm about to chop my mother at her base :) I will basically doing a clone of exactly what you did :) so thank you thank you

[@lisawagner6076]

That mother plant is gorgeous!!!! great job !!

[@kevin.]

Haha thanks!! 😊 I actually propagated it again since putting out this video. Will probably post that in a couple months. 😅

[@tkennedy8593]

Helllllllllllllooo... First Thank you. While going through KZbin I came across this video & oh my God fell in love with this beautiful plant. So here I am about 2 months later ( and watched this video at least 10 more times) My very own Syngonium Podophyllum Albo Variegatum cutting just arrived today. I am so super duper excited. I'm suppose to go to work at 3 today, ummm well I am going but only bc i need more money to buy plants... And my coworkers will hate me by the end of the night. I have pictures to show and a 5 year old's excitement burning in my chest. ( Yeah, pictures of 1 leaf, stem & 1/2 inch root . ) I'm not sure if you still check this but I do have 1 question... the woman that mailed it out ( i will not mention names) wrapped the bottom in sphagnum Moss, like well, really tight THEN taped the SM up really tight at the bottom,, put the entire cutting in paper, taped the paper from top to bottom & then taped the paper to the box . I felt like I was performing surgery trying to release my poor plant from its taped hell without hurting it. Thank God my Pen knife saved the day but there's still some SM around the root thats just on there tight. I got entirely too nervous trying to take anymore off so I put her in water & will check again tomorrow. Is that the right thing to do??? I hope.. I.'ve gotten countless plants in SM thru the mail before but NEVER like this.( My 1st order from this shop) So my question is do you think water is the right way to go or should I be doing something else? Will it release the sphagnum moss from the root OR will it kill it being wrapped? Anyway, Thanks again for your videos especially this one. I hope you have the most amazing year... 💚

[@noraramos3798]

Wow! Mama is gorgeous!!!!

[@noraramos3798]

I have a single leaf cutting of this plant that I have propagating in water right now, but I don’t really know what I’m doing:) She does have one long(ish) root so far but I have no idea when I should plant her into soil. How long should the root be before I attempt it? I would LOVE to end up with a plant like yours, but is that even possible with a single leaf as my starting point?

[@kimizukaa]

Thank you for this video! I just got two cuttings like your first long cut and I was wondering if I could propagate like this lol so helpful!

[@Portalofinfinty]

I made a dozen cuts from the mother plant, and in the water adding a few dollar aquarium pump speeded up the propagation! in two weeks they have all rooted!

[@richauntylex]

I am getting this plant for my friend's birthday..I dont even own one..BUT ima take a snip snip before i give it to her lol Thank you for this video!

[@kevin.]

Haha it's such a beautiful plant your friend will love it!

[@irntang]

Thanks for sharing such a wonderful video! I love the updates between different growth stage. I recently (read; today) purchased a syngonium albo - just one leaf so this gives me hope!

[@kevin.]

No problem Irene! This plant is so rewarding and a fast grower!

Ha ha ha! I laughed when you took deep breathes after you cut it! 😂😂😂 But I do the same thing too! I also recently propagated mine as well. I am hoping they all do well. Finger’s crossed. Great results on your propagation...and mama plant really showed out...she said we don’t die we multiply!!! 😂😂😂 Great video I really enjoyed it. Happy Growing!

😍😍😍 love it!!! do you put any fertilizer in the water for the leca? How does the plant gets its nutrient from just leca ? Will water from a fresh water fish tank be sufficient ?

[@kevin.]

Hey Janette! I use hydroponic nutrients - Floraseries by general hydroponics. I don't have experience with fish tank water with LECA. Sorry! 😥

[@janettechu6747]

Nice and healthy mother plant you got there.I'm just wondering what do you feed your plants? What goes with your leca? Thanks😊

[@CynnekeSer]

Do you change the water on the little ones while they try to grow roots.

[@shayzoo2]

Absolutely love this plant. I’m so excited to be having mine delivered today! Thank you for some insight. However I have a question about the name of your channel. The word hakuna means “no” or “there is none”, so your channel basically called “there are no plants???” Was that intentional? Or did you just like the sound of it and not know what it means?

[@alexandurrr]

I do leca and heat mats to help them grow roots faster, also humidity helps

[@omshanti4541]

What fertilizer do you use?

[@xoTrisTxo]

Can I ask where you place your syngonium in the house? I m not sure if they need super bright indirect light right by the window or more out in a medium shade further from the window. Yours look so healthy.

[@kevin.]

Hey thanks! I currently have all my syngoniums under a grow light just for the winter time. I do have them usually by a window with bright indirect light the majority of the day. I'm pretty sure they can tolerate more medium though.

[@estelahernandez1186]

Beautiful propagation

[@breannajenkins7321]

Are u ale to do an update video on your varigated syngonium. Like growth updates?

[@rebeccasheehy5833]

Excellent video - thanks so much. Can you propagate any time during the year, even in winter? We have mild winters here and I was thinking of using Sphagnam moss to propagate. What do you think? Can I then transfer into soil once the roots develop?

[@firstnamelastname6193]

What region do you live in? Your plants thrive!

[@tinaliu490]

They propagted so well! I enjoy watching your progress as if mine is doing the same lol. Time will tell I guess. Did you put the leca in self-watering pots? And how much water you add in there? Thank you

[@kevin.]

Hello! I'm glad you liked it 💚. Yes I put the LECA in self watering pots. I usually put enough that the wicks are submerged in the water. Or of you don't have self watering pots, a third way up the bottom of the pot.

[@tinaliu490]

[@crystalrenee420]

Another awesome video I can’t wait to see if my Syngonium grows full and healthy like yours.

[@taralynnnn]

I bought a mid cut...when I bought it in the winter there was a new leaf unfurling and I was still propagating it in water. Once there was a healthy amount of roots I potted it, but there has been NO new growth at all. Is it just dormant or will it not put out anymore growth? I have read that mid cuts can be tricky but yours seemed to do extremely well...

[@mycharmedunicorn8715]

What made the new little propagations get burned leaves? Just curious so I learn from you

[@kevin.]

I think you're talking about the white parts of the leaves browning? This is normal in plants with white sections. Because there's no green on that section, it can't sustain itself and tbh isn't useful for the plant so they're usually the first one to go.

[@GetDropkick]

this looked so great!!! i’m so happy for you (and jealous lol)

[@kaitlynk81794]

Awesome video! Your syngonium is beautiful. Can I ask what you put on the mother plant's node after you chopped it at 10:50? I'm looking to do the same with my syngonium. Thank you!

[@michelet8916]

Ughh my dream plant! Its so beautiful. They go for like $700 a 1 leaf cutting in NZ at the moment😭

[@kevin.]

OMG YOU'RE KIDDING THAT'S SO SAD. 😭 I would think that the price would drop because they're really easy to propagate + fast growers. Hopefully you get your hands on one (at a reasonable price) 😬

where did you buy the mother plant from? it is SUNNING! i would buy the whole thing from you!

I bought them in the Fall 2019 from this online shop called Greenetics Canada. They are not selling plants at the moment and I don't think they sold this last year. A bunch of places will be selling them probably in the spring/summer. I'm currently not selling any plants unfortunately. But probably in the future!

[@jazzedlau9431]

Hi there! Nice video. Thank you. I just have 1 question. Did you put fertilizer when you transfer in leca?

[@kevin.]

Hi Jasmin! I personally put a 1/3 strength of my nutrient solution (I use general hydroponics 3 part Flora series) and I've been recently using rapidstart a root enhancer from general hydroponics. A lot of people start off first with superthrive.

[@SgtScourge]

Any tips on preventing reversion while propagating or growing?

[@nancynn90]

Hi. I am still a newbie and thinkingn to propagate my syngonium. Just have a question for you. Once you placed the cuttings in leca, did you put in fertilizer too? And how often do you do that? I notice my current plant has two aerial nodes showing right above the soil level in the same stem, dont know if I should just leave them alone where they eventually implant themselve in soil and grow or should I cut and put in leca? What do you think? Thanks!

[@kevin.]

Hey Nancy! There's a number of things that you could do. When I put the cuttings in LECA, I usually put rooting hormone (rapidstart by general hydroponics) and a 1/3 strength of what I would usually do with my nutrient solution. A lot of people use super thrive. But I definitely wouldn't recommend a heavy fertilizer. It will shock the plant. Some people just use water. People usually recommend to wait for the plant to mature before you cut up the plant. In my experience, my syngoniums aerial roots never grow long enough to reach the soil. Maybe if you have high enough humidity? But I'm not sure. I always tell people to propagate knowing the risks of potentially losing the cuttings. I know I've lost a bunch in the past. Key things are to make sure they're in a sunny + warm place.

Why didn’t you try rooting with leca in the beginning? I find it works better sometimes than water. It would be good if you did a comparison. Also rooting hormone may help to put energy in rooting than upper growth

Very helpful video! :D My albo syngonium is in a terracotta pot now with an aroid soil mixture and I've been having issues with the bottom leaves yellowing. I'm going to transfer mine in leca now, but it's going to be my first plant in leca. Do you have any tips on how to fertilize it? Btw, I love how you showed the progress from start to finish. :)

[@kevin.]

Thank you Risha! 🥰 I'm thinking maybe the terracotta dried out the soil too fast. That definitely happened to me! A few key things: make sure you take off as much soil off of the roots. Start off with water+superthrive for the first couple weeks. I've never done that but people swear by it. When you switch to nutrient solution, I would do a 1/4 recommended strength just so you don't shock the plant. Change the nutrient solution every 2 weeks, and flush the pot in the weeks in between that. And lastly give it an adequate amount of light. I hope this helps!
