Syngonium is considered a semi-climbing or creeping plant, meaning it has a tendency to grow up vertical surfaces if given adequate support.

In nature , in tropical forests , it climbs trees using its aerial roots to hold on.

If grown indoors , you can provide support such as a moss stake or trellis to encourage vertical growth, or let it hang as a trailing plant.
