About Berry Allusion Arrowhead Plant
Syngonium podophyllum is a popular, easy-to-care-for houseplant with beautiful arrowhead shaped leaves. You’ll often see these plants grown in their juvenile stage, but given something to climb on and abundant sunlight you may see them mature into their adult stage! The leaf shape changes as they mature and may even appear to split into three individual leaves. In the wild they can climb up to 65 feet tall. Be sure to handle them with care, as their sap contains oxalic acid which can be very irritating to the skin and eyes. 👀

Drama Queen. This one gets super droopy and perks right back up with water every 5 days. Still in its nursery pot, the smaller leaves are yellowing like maybe it’s to much water? #Syngonium #syngonimRobusta #DramaticPlants #yellowing

The leafs turned yellow and thin One bush of my Syngonium bushes leaves turned yellow and stoped growing. Can it be because of over watering? Please help

Halloween Ideas. I would like to Jazz up my plants for Halloween. Any suggestions? Is it okay to water my arrowhead with red food coloring? Or will it kill it? If it doesn't, will it show some color on the leaves/stems? Does anyone recommend something different? Thank you 😊.

If your plant has spider mites and you have a collection of 40… do you… toss it and start again or do what you can to eradicate? I’ve already had 3 that have quarantined and appear mite free but this one appears worse. Very worse. Creepy crawly worse. Is it worth it?

What's Up With Mando? #Syngonium I watered Mando with coconut milk and the following week the leaves became brown. Is he okay? Any suggestions? Thank you.

Just wanted to speak to someone who would understand… Tonight, I feel defeated. I’ve treated my Alocasias less than a week ago for first signs of spider mites. That’s commun occurrence, I clean everything, treat everything, no biggy. I feel that kinda comes with it and I have now a dedicated “plant jail” for this. I moved my arrowhead recently from a window to my greenhouse and it wasn’t looking too hot. Lighting change could be responsible, it does not like its new neighbour, I don’t know but again, no big deal. Tonight, I go to water it and it is clinging onto life. Barely. I check and see a bunch of rust spots. Hmmm. This is not normal. Well folks, I have thrips. I feel so defeated. I have no new plants, nothing has changed, I just have new undesirable roommates. I just spent the last 2 hours washing leaves, cutting trimming down and honestly, shedding a few tears. I know it’s part of the game and the hobby, but what was supposed to be a week of vacation, maybe even plant shopping at a few spots i always wanted to check out just transformed in pest control/management. How can I go look at new plants when I can’t even handle the ones I have? Anyway, sorry for that rambling, I just wanted to write to someone who would get it. I know there is much worst going on in general. I also dedicate this post to spike leaves, the fallen hero. I’m sure the 40 other plants are thank you for your sacrifice. #PestControl #ArrowheadPlant #SadPlantDay

#HELP! Some of my arrowheads leaves started dropping and dying after I repotted it and gave it new soil. I cut them off but worried as if the whole plant it’s dying

Leggy arrowhead/syngonium? Hi - my arrowhead plant looks like it might be a bit leggy? I don’t know if this is legginess or not… I actually recently moved it a bit closer to the window to fit on my new plant stand (IKEA if anyone is insterested) thinking it would be happy there, but I’m worried it’s not happy! If it’s any closer to the window it’ll be in direct south facing window sunlight all day! There’s still lots of new growth and the colour looks okay except the odd floppy yellow leaf that I’ve removed. Can anyone help? What’s wrong with her? Is it something else? #Syngonium #ArrowheadPlant #NewPlantMom

Leaves stay a brighter green. It’s easy to clean up when leaves do shed. Propagate by finding nodes along stem and trimming just below, playing node in water. It doesn’t take a lot of care and isn’t fickle about watering or sunlight, in my experience.

No issues so far. One left turned burn and yellow fast. I removed it but since then the plant has been thriving. No issues that I’m aware of yet.

I was given a clipping of an AP, and it not only survived a cross country drive, it is alive and thriving while being propped in water! It’s a beautiful plant and I can’t wait to see it thrive even more.

This particular hybrid Syngonium is a smaller leaf variety, remains compact, and grows slowly. Really likes more humidity than bright light so placed near other low light, humidity hungry plants. She grows slowly but getting slightly fuller over the past 8 months.

Gorgeous color. Easy going. Will trail as it matures. 💚

Probably one of the easiest plants. Needs a good amount of light and will reach towards the light so remembering to turn this one so it doesn’t become lopsided is key!

LOVE THIS PLANT!! I keep mine about 10 feet from my window, and it still thrives! The coloring is beautiful, and it has been growing so quickly, even in winter. If you need a low light plant that still looks beautiful, get an arrowhead!

I see so many people having great success with these plants but I can’t figure out why my leaves are browning so easily. I keep trying to save it but can’t figure out what’s going on.

This plant is unconditionally loving and always has lots of new growth. I keep mine in ~65% humidity with grow lights and about an inch deep of spagnum moss on top of the soil for extra humidity

This plant grows insanely fast and I always have at least four new leaves. I keep mine at ~65% humidity with grow lights (no natural sunlight) and a layer an inch deep of spagnum moss covering the soil to keep it a little more humid.

Such an easy to care for, non-finicky plant. It’s doubled in size in just a few months and keeps putting out new leaves. Water when soil is dry or leaves get droopy and give it good bright indirect light and it should stay happy!
