Syngonium Strawberry Ice. One thing that I love about this plant is that every new leaf is slightly different from each other. While others may have more green than pink, some will have more pink and white. New leaves are usually pink and as they mature, the pink areas could develop more white areas. Propagation is usually done thru cuttings. Simply cut in between nodes (where roots usually grow) and put in water. You can also plant them directly into moist soil. In order to grow more pink leaves, it's best to put them in the shade. The more sunlight it gets, the greener its leaves become. This one here is in the shade. It gets just a bit of afternoon light, about an hour or so. As you can see, the newer leaves have more pink in them compared to the older leaves (please see final pic). Also, too much direct light can burn the leaves. Because I love this so much, I bought two pots a few months back. The other one is placed in an area near a column since I want it to climb up. What I discovered is that the leaves are quite thin, especially the young ones. They tear easily when there's heavy rainfall. 🌸🌼
