Care Guide

  • Let the top inch of the soil dry before watering; they like even moisture but will suffer in muddy soil.

  • Keep in medium to bright indirect sunlight to maintain its pink or white variegation.

  • Prune the climbing vines actively to maintain a bushy, compact shape if you do not want it to trail or climb.

Common Problems & Solutions

Why are the leaves of my Syngonium turning entirely green and losing their pattern?

A loss of variegation indicates the plant is in an area that is too dark. Increase its exposure to indirect sunlight.

Why are the edges of my Arrowhead leaves brown and dry?

Dry edges usually point to exceptionally low indoor humidity. Try grouping plants together or misting occasionally.
