In reply to amber. Thanks! IME they’re not fussy at all but repotting often is stressful for the plant so don’t do it too often. My mottled is growing very well and it’s incredibly root bound (there’s probs more roots coming out of the bottom of the pot as are in it).

hi, great article! I was wondering if you know anything about how frequently you should repot syngoniums. I know that for example monsteras prefer to get pretty root bound before you repot them – are syngoniums the same? or can I be slightly more cautious about repotting them before they get too root bound? (if it helps the specific variety I have is a White Butterfly) 🙂

In reply to Sandra Evans. This is so weird! I have a video going up on my YouTube channel this Saturday where I stake my Ice Frost! You'll find that as it grows taller, it'll start to lean over, which is when you'll need to stake it. Mine grew and grew and grew, and then started to lean over at a 90 degree angle. It didn't look great! From what I've seen, the aerial roots grow easily, so you could stake it to a piece of wood to help it cling using its aerial roots (you can attach them with sellotape at first) or you can attach it to a moss pole using garden ties.

I’ve just been given a syngonium ice frost plant. It’s about 11 ins high from the top of the pot and has lots of leaves and is quite bushy and looks very healthy. I’ve read elsewhere on the Internet that it is a climbing plant. Do I need to put a stick or something in the pot for it to climb up? Thank you for any help/advice.
