"Miracle Grow Moisture Control" Maybe the worst potting soil you can use for houseplants - excessively moisture retentive and too fast to collapse and compact. And never water on a "schedule" - water when the soil conditions and the plant needs indicate.

Are the white spots translucent areas that go through the whole leaf, so you see them underneath too? If that's the case check for pests eg.spider mites, that damage the leaves when they suck (chew?) on them from underneath. If it's powdery and wipes off, how about powdery mildew? Or could the spots be from something sprayed on or near the plant? Just thinking aloud here, hopefully someone who has seen this problem will be able to help :)

Kathy, the official name of your syngonium is Trileaf Wonder, a very old one and don't see it very much any more. Syngoniums will put on lobes as they climb toward higher light, so will go from 3 to 5 to 7 and even 9 lobes, and then will bloom when they have enough light. You're right in that young syngoniums have the most variegation, older ones and those in climbing mode will lose it completely. If you have enough young tip cuttings with good variegation to make a potful, I would just propagate them and toss all the rest. My prior advice to take cuttings only from variegated portions of the vine doesn't apply to this particular syngonium, any new plants springing from side nodes of a green-leaved stem should produce variegated young plants. But you'll have to cut off the tip to force nodes to grow, maybe that's why you said you had pieces that had a lot of nodes close together but none were growing. As long as the cutting has a tip, all energy goes there and side nodes will stay dormant. Cut off the tip and energy diverts to side nodes and you will see the last few nodes from the top burst into active growth. If the cuttings have aerial roots, you should be able to just plant them in a light, peat-based mix and they will grow easily for you. If no aerials, your glass of water is a safe way to propagate and produce roots. In the future, as vines start running, cut off tips to keep growth young and variegated. That will force the plant to be bushier and more attractive. Let me know if you need clarification or have other questions. Russ

Agreeing w/ Popmama's IDs above. Also echoing opinion they look very healthy!! In the last pic, those 2 leaves in the lower right hand corner, ALMOST look like they could be Scindapsus, from the rounder leaf shape. I could see where one might ask that. Great job!
