Arrowhead Plant - Pink Allusion

The arrowhead plant, also known as Syngonium podophyllum, is a popular houseplant known for its attractive, arrow-shaped leaves. It's a versatile plant that can thrive in various indoor conditions, making it a great choice for beginners.

Here are some key points about caring for an arrowhead plant:

Light: Arrowhead plants prefer bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Reduce watering in the winter months when the plant's growth slows down. 

Humidity: This plant enjoys higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby.

Temperature: Arrowhead plants thrive in temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Keep them away from drafts and cold windows.

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. A mix designed for houseplants, or a combination of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil works well.

Fertilizing: Feed the plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.

Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the plant's shape and encourages bushier growth. You can also trim off any yellow or damaged leaves.

Toxicity: Be aware that arrowhead plants are toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so keep them out of reach of children and animals.

With proper care, your arrowhead plant will thrive and add a touch of greenery to your home!
