Plant Profile

Arrowhead

a.k.a. Syngonium Nephthytis // Goosefoot Plant

Originally from the tropical rainforests of South America, the Arrowhead Plant is loved as a houseplant for its easy-going nature and distinctive shaped leaves that vary in colour from dark green through to white and even pink. Although the Arrowhead is a relatively easy houseplant to care for, it is worth noting that as it grows and matures it develops into a climber and therefore does require some pruning in order to stop it from becoming unruly.

Top Tips

✔ Regularly rotate the Arrowhead to help encourage even growth on all sides of the plant.


✔ Prune the Arrowhead Plant if you’d like it to stay full and bushy rather than become a climbing vine.

 

Plant Care

Quick plant check up

Yellowing leaves

 

This will be the result of the plant being under watered. Make sure that the plant is watered once the top soil becomes dry.

Brown tips on leaves

 

This will probably be due to dry air around the plant. Misting regularly is highly recommended, also ensure that the plant is not positioned near any radiators etc.

Leaf veins turning yellow

 

This will be the result of low humidity and/or a lack of water. Give the plant a drink and mist it regularly to help boost humidity levels.
