Arrow Head Plant Care for Growing a Beautiful Syngonium

Arrow Head Plant, also known as Syngonium or Arrowhead Vine, is a popular Araceae family houseplant. This lovely plant is known for its arrow-shaped leaves and is widely used as an ornamental plant in homes and offices. If you want to grow an Arrow Head Plant or if you already have one, this article will give you all the information you need to keep it healthy and thriving.

Arrow Head Plant Varieties


Arrow Head Plant comes in a variety of colors and patterns on its leaves. Syngonium podophyllum, Syngonium pink, and Pink Arrowhead Plant are among the most popular varieties. These varieties have distinguishing characteristics that set them apart from one another.

Syngonium Podophyllum, also known as Goosefoot Plant, has bright green leaves that are arrow-shaped and can grow to be 7 inches long. This variety is simple to grow and requires little attention.

Pink Allusion, also known as Syngonium Pink, has pinkish leaves that can turn a deep red color when exposed to bright light. This variety is more difficult to care for than the others because it requires more humidity and a well-draining soil.

Pink Arrowhead Plant, also known as Neon Robusta, has light green leaves with pink veins that can reach a length of 6 inches. This variety is simple to care for and can tolerate low light levels.

Arrow Head Plant Care


The Arrow Head Plant requires little care and can thrive in a variety of environments. Here are some pointers to keep your Arrow Head Plant looking good and healthy:

1. Light: The Arrow Head Plant prefers indirect, bright light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while insufficient light can slow its growth.
2. Watering: The Arrow Head Plant prefers to be kept evenly moist but not wet. When the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, water it. Overwatering can result in root rot, which is fatal to the plant.
3. Arrow Head Plant prefers high humidity. By misting the leaves with water or placing a humidifier near the plant, you can increase humidity.
4. Fertilizer: To grow healthy and strong, the Arrow Head Plant requires regular fertilization. During the growing season, apply a balanced fertilizer every two weeks (spring and summer).
5. Pruning: To control the size and shape of the Arrow Head Plant, prune it.
Pruning can also be used to remove any yellow or dead leaves.

Propagation of Arrowhead Plants


Stem cuttings can be used to propagate the Arrow Head Plant. Here's how it's done:

1. Select a stem cutting with at least two leaves and a node (where the leaf attaches to the stem).
2. Dip the cutting end in rooting hormone.
3. Plant the cutting in a moist soil-filled pot.
4. To make a mini greenhouse, cover the pot with a plastic bag.
5. Maintain moist soil and place the cutting in bright, indirect light.
6. The cutting should begin to root after a few weeks. Remove the plastic bag after it has rooted and care for the new plant as you would a mature Arrow Head Plant.

To summarize, the Arrow Head Plant is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a low-maintenance, eye-catching houseplant. You can keep your Arrow Head Plant healthy and thriving for years by following the advice in this guide.
