So I've been pretty good this last year about not really brining new plants into my collection and focusing on the ones I have. This neon pink syngonium is one I have been eyeing for awhile. I kept telling myself no because I have a ton of plants. Eventually I decided to reward myself and get her 😊 honestly, no regrets. I love just staring at her
