Syngonium Strawberry Ice 4”

The Syngonium ‘Strawberry Ice’ is a vibrant tropical plant native to the rainforests of Central and South America, where it naturally climbs trees under the forest canopy. This striking variety is loved for its heart-shaped leaves splashed with pink, rose, and green tones, resembling a soft watercolor wash. As it matures, the leaves become more elongated and deeply lobed, showing off the “ice” pink variegation that makes it a collector favorite.

This Syngonium thrives in well-draining, airy soil and prefers consistent moisture without becoming waterlogged. It enjoys warm temperatures and medium to high humidity, making it ideal for indoor environments or greenhouse settings. Occasional pruning helps maintain a bushy shape, or it can be trained to climb a moss pole for a more dramatic display.

Direction of light: The Syngonium ‘Strawberry Ice’ prefers bright, indirect light to bring out its pink and green coloration. Too little light can cause the leaves to lose their variegation, while harsh direct sunlight can scorch the delicate foliage. A north- or east-facing window is perfect, or filtered sunlight from a brighter exposure will keep this plant colorful and thriving year-round.
