How to maintain pink/white color? The key is light! Colorful varieties need bright indirect light - near a window but away from direct sun. Without enough light, the colors will turn green. Bushy growth: Trim the tips regularly - this encourages side branches and a fuller plant. Climb or trail? Give it a moss pole and the leaves will grow larger! Or hang in a basket for a green waterfall. Gifts: The Syngonium roots so easily that you can share cuttings with friends and family!
