Syngonium podophyllum ‘Arrowhead’, commonly known as the Arrowhead Plant or Arrowhead Vine, is a classic tropical houseplant loved for its distinctive arrow-shaped foliage and adaptable growth habit. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, this versatile aroid has become a cornerstone of indoor plant collections, offering lush greenery and effortless charm with minimal care requirements.

The plant’s juvenile leaves are arrowhead-shaped and vibrant green, often with subtle silvery or cream variegation along the veins. As it matures, the leaves may become more deeply lobed, and its growth can shift from a compact bush to a trailing or climbing vine. Its versatility makes it suitable for hanging baskets, tabletops, or moss poles — and its ability to thrive in a range of light conditions makes it ideal for both beginners and collectors.

Lush, adaptable, and naturally elegant, Syngonium ‘Arrowhead’ adds a touch of rainforest vitality and timeless tropical beauty to any interior space.


Syngonium podophyllum ‘Arrowhead’ – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light but is tolerant of medium to low light conditions. For the healthiest growth and most vibrant foliage, place near a bright window with filtered sunlight. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering

Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Overwatering can cause root rot, while allowing the soil to dry out too much may lead to drooping leaves. During winter, reduce watering frequency as growth slows.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth between 20–28 °C; avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15 °C.

  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier to maintain lush, healthy foliage.

Soil and Potting

Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich tropical mix — equal parts compost, perlite, and coco coir or fine bark are ideal. This allows airflow around the roots while retaining gentle moisture. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and accommodate new growth.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertiliser. Too much fertiliser can lead to leaf burn or faded colouration. Suspend feeding in autumn and winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Prune regularly to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Trimming back long vines will help keep the plant compact if you prefer a fuller appearance. Wipe the leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and keep them glossy. Rotate the plant every few weeks for even light exposure and symmetrical growth.

Growth and Maturity

A moderate to fast grower, Syngonium ‘Arrowhead’ typically reaches 60–90 cm in height or spread indoors. Its juvenile form remains compact and dense, while mature plants can trail or climb depending on support. The leaves may also grow larger and more divided as the plant ages, showcasing its evolutionary transition from ground cover to vine.

Common Issues

  • Yellow leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Brown tips: Low humidity or dry air.

  • Drooping: Underwatering or cold exposure.

  • Pests: Occasionally spider mites or thrips; treat promptly with neem oil or insecticidal soap.


Background and Benefits

Native to the tropical rainforests of Mexico, Brazil, and Bolivia, Syngonium podophyllum grows as an epiphyte or groundcover in humid forest understories. The ‘Arrowhead’ cultivar is the most common and foundational form of the species, valued for its hardiness, vibrant foliage, and versatility.

In cultivation, it is adored for its adaptability — thriving in both bright and low-light interiors while purifying the air by removing toxins such as formaldehyde and benzene. Its elegant arrow-shaped leaves bring structure and softness to any space, making it one of the most timeless tropical houseplants.

Styling Tip

Ideal for bright living rooms, offices, or kitchens, it adds both natural freshness and graceful form to any plant collection.
