The striking foliage of Ice Frost Syngonium is not to be overlooked. The medium green leaves feature detailed vein markings and an enchanting dusting of silvery "frost." This plant may appear high-maintenance, but it is well-suited for both novice and experienced gardeners. Easy to grow in a wide range of lighting conditions, it is also an excellent choice for offices or other artificially lit areas. Additionally, Syngonium is known for its ability to filter indoor air pollutants and manmade chemicals.
Best Locations for Growing Ice Frost Syngonium
Syngonium makes a great trailing plant for hanging baskets and a variety of containers. The leaves reach their full potential when the plant is trained on a moss pole or trellis and grown vertically. These resilient and architectural plants can thrive in hallways or entryways with low lighting or high traffic. Consider placing Syngonium atop a bookcase, where the long trailing stems can spread out. Keep curious pets and children away from the foliage and stems, as they can be irritating to sensitive skin and toxic if ingested.
Ice Frost Syngonium Sunlight Requirements
Syngonium is not a demanding plant and can thrive in a range of light conditions, from medium exposure to indirect bright light. Rooms with east or west-facing windows are ideal, although a northern exposure is also acceptable. Protect the beautifully colored leaves from intense bright light, especially during the hottest part of the day.
Ice Frost Syngonium Care
Syngonium prefers a slightly acidic potting mix. This can be achieved by adding orchid bark to an all-purpose potting mix at a 1:1 ratio. Ensure that the pot has excellent drainage, and empty any saucers or cache pots placed underneath shortly after watering. Syngonium does not like to have its roots sitting in water for extended periods.
Watering Ice Frost Syngonium
Water your Ice Frost Syngonium once a week during the spring and summer, the most active growing period. Allow the potting mix to dry slightly between waterings, adjusting for low light conditions and humidity levels. In winter, watering can be reduced to every 10-14 days, as growth slows significantly during shorter days. To counteract the drying effects of indoor heating or cooling, provide extra humidity with a fine mist sprayer every 2-3 days.
Feeding Ice Frost Syngonium
A balanced houseplant fertilizer can be used once a month during the spring and summer to support rapid growth. Typically, diluted liquids like seaweed or fish emulsion are easiest for plants to absorb. Look for deodorized formulations for use indoors.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
