Arrowhead Plant
About 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. 👀

How to fertilize Arrowhead Plant
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 it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Arrowhead Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Did someone say #RootPorn WHOA! I knew this Mango needed a repot but didn’t realize how badly until I pulled her out today and saw this. This was in a 6” pot and I’ve had the plant about a month, bought from #plantproper and clearly well raised! It had been vining already and so beautiful and bushy with new growth all the time. Got those roots all suited up in a new pot and good to go 😍 Edit: I’ve never reported a Syngonium and stressed over which soil to use. Anyone have tips on what you use or recommend for them? #SyngoniumSquad #Syngonium #HappyPlants #PlantAddict #rootytootytuesday #PlantProperFanClub #PlantTherapy

It’s here, and it’s spectacular! @JCPlantProper is my hero. After I messed up the address for this order, she called UPS for me and saved the day so I could go pick it up. Look how gorgeous! This is the Syngonium Mango from #plantproper Already has some #FreshLeafFriday growth too! I had intended to send it to a friend, but looks like I “accidentally” have a new plant for myself 😬🤣 #PlantProperFanClub #PlantMail #NewPlant #Syngonium #SyngoniumSquad

I think this is a Syngonium Maria but not quite positive. I also think I have 2 varieties in this pot, 2 of them in the backside have darker leaves with a burgundy undertones, and the one shown in the front is lighter green and pinkish. Thoughts?🤔 #Syngonium #maria #arrowhead

One of my cats decided they wanted to play with my syngonium and broke her 💔💔 I cut it and have it in water in an attempt to propagate it, so hopefully it'll turn out alright

Curled leafs? #Syngonium #planttherapy Curled leafs! She does not look happy, She receives bright, grow light for around 12 hours a day, and is placed near a humidifier aswell, help ? I think it could be no drainage as well, I water sparingly because of it.

erm weird soil I watered Circe not all that long ago (like a few days maybe) and now there's this odd fungus looking stuff over the top of the soil. It kinda reminds me of when dust gets stuck in sticky residue It's not on any of my other plants, just this one
-
What's up? #Syngonium #happyplants low watering and low humidity maybe? How should I go about this?

Help! 😭 My Syngonium Milk Confetti has aphids. Thankfully she was not beside any other plants. She has a loner spot on my kitchen island. I still isolated the plant until I find out when I need to do. What is the best remedy to get rid of those little buggies? #Syngonium #help #PestsAndPlants

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.
