Hello everyone,
I want to form a lush
Syngonium,
is it possible to prune the vine?
 (2 arrows grow)

 Syngonium can and should be pruned to form a bushy shrub rather than a long, bare vine. This encourages lateral shoots, making it appear fuller. Pinch above the 5th or 6th leaf to encourage branching, and remove elongated parts to maintain a compact appearance.

 Why pruning helps create a bushier shrub

 Growth stimulation: Pruning encourages the plant to branch out rather than grow upward.

 Shaping: You can create a bushy shrub, a trailing plant, or a vine with support, but pruning is essential for bushiness.



 How to prune syngonium
Tools: Use sharp, clean scissors or pruning shears to avoid damage.

 Cut location: Make the cut 1-2 cm above a node (the point where a leaf or shoot emerges).
What to prune: Remove elongated, weak shoots. You can pinch above the 5th or 6th leaf to encourage lateral shoots.

 What to do with two shoots
If you have two shoots, trim one or both to the desired height to encourage branching. This will help form two bushes or a single, denser bush.
