Syngonium (Arrowhead)

Syngonium is a popular trailing houseplant with attractive heart-shaped leaves. Also known as the Arrowhead, this sub-tropical plant is versatile and easy to care for, making it an ideal indoor plant at home or office.

Light 

Syngonium thrives in bright indirect light but will tolerate low light settings as well. Place the pot in a bright corner of your house or simply hang a planter in the balcony for an ecstatic look.

 Soil

Soil for this beautifully growing arrowhead must be well-draining, nutrient-rich, and slightly acidic

Drainage: The soil should have good drainage and moderate moisture retention. You can use a potting mix with perlite, vermiculite, or pumice for extra drainage.

Nutrients: The soil should be rich in organic matter and amendments like compost, biochar, or orchid bark.

Water

Water the soil thoroughly and wait for the water to drain through, then empty any excess water sitting in the saucer. Allow the top 3-5cm of soil to dry out before watering again. In the cooler months, your plant won’t want as much water.
