sweet po and syngonium

Pinched a few anemic-looking leaves off my smaller pot of decorative sweet potato vine. Caught a whitefly. Looked for more, flattened a few with my thumb.
Then inspected the larger plant. Crap. It had lots of whitefly, aphids and at least one tiny leafhopper. I doused that one with soapy water solution.
Pinched back my arrowhead plant. I haven't done this before, but do prefer the bushy habit and it's starting to grow longer stems- I thought before this was it going leggy from not enough light. 
On the contrary, it's just following its natural inclination to becoming a vine. Cut some of the lengthier stems and stuck them in water to root.
