Syngonium 'Ice Frost'

Botanical Name:  Syngonium macrophyllum ‘Ice Frost’

Common Names:  Ice Frost, Frosted Heart

Description:

Syngonium macrophyllum ‘Ice Frost’ is the cool, collected friend in your plant collection — the one who never seems to sweat and always looks effortlessly put together. Unlike many Syngonium varieties with softer, thinner foliage, this beauty flexes thick, velvety leaves with a signature silvery “frosted” sheen, like someone dusted each leaf with a little winter magic.

Its chunky texture, shimmering surface, and oversized leaf shape give it a bold, sculptural presence. Whether kept compact as a tabletop accent or allowed to climb for that dramatic look, the Ice Frost brings calm, icy elegance to any room. No two leaves frost quite the same, which just adds to its charm.

Watering:

Allow soil to dry 25–50% between waterings. Keep it lightly moist but never soggy — think “refreshing cool cloth,” not “melting snowbank.”

Lighting:

Prefers a bright indirect view of the sky. This keeps the frosty finish vibrant and prevents the leaves from losing their shimmer.

Pet Safety:

Not pet-friendly. Keep it away from curious chewers and overly helpful “plant inspectors.”

Fleurish Tip:

Ice Frost LOVES a stable environment. Avoid cold drafts (ironic, I know) and rotate it every few weeks to keep those frosty leaves growing evenly. And if you really want that shimmer to show off, give the leaves a gentle wipe every now and then — like buffing your favorite pair of Gen-X sunglasses.
