Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil itās likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Arrow Leaf after it doubles in size or once a yearāwhichever comes first.

#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #evilgenius I did a Thingā¦. Completely by accident but this little guy is very quickly becoming my favourite plant. A couple months ago I got hold of 2 Mickey Mouse xanthasoma juveniles, one had 2 growth points and a long enough stem with roots growing in opposite directions on each end. I naturally did the only thing I could and chopped it in half and Ta Daaaa 3 plants!! However I completely forgot about Bonsai 101ā¦. Because I snipped the stem when the smallest one was barely a green triangle sticking out (if they werenāt bare rooted I wouldnāt have seen the second growth point) so when I snipped it, the plant decided it must be Forever Smol and now I have an accidental bonsai Mickey Mouse xanthasoma the size of a dwarf syngonium š„°šš¤£ howās that for some #madscientist crazy plant experimenting š sometimes you succeed, sometimes you kill plants experimenting and other times you get something wonderful and completely unexpected š And I shall call him Squishy š

Any recommendations on getting this little one more full and sprouting more than 2 leaves at a time? In a 1:1:2 ratio of perlite:o bark:o potting soil, but was recently repotted to that. Gave her a bigger home when I did that. The Greg App says not to fertilize but wondering what others have done.

Hi, My arrowhead is growing great but it gets to the point where its leaves get too heavy and then the stem cracks and dies. Could this be too much water or too little? Or does it need more support? The leaves tend to lose their color a little as well. #ArrowleafElephantEar

Emily is seeking to be struggling a little. I repotted her to a larger pot a couple weeks ago because she seemed to be growing unhappy and she hasnāt recovered. How can I help?!
