How to prune syngonium 'three kings'

Spring for shaping; any time for reversion or dead-leaf removal. Pinch or cut growing tips just above a node to promote branching. Remove reverted green stems at the base. Trim long vines back to the desired length, cutting just above a node.

Lightly once or twice a year; monitor for reversion monthly. Syngonium 'Three Kings' needs minimal pruning — mainly removing dead or yellowing leaves and trimming back vining stems when they become leggy. Pinching tips encourages a compact mound. Because its variegation is unstable, watch for all-green stems and remove them promptly to preserve the speckled pattern.
