🪴 General care: Easy

• Syngonium Podophyllum, Arrowhead plant or Arrowhead vine, is a tropical plant which comes from the rainforests of Central and South America. Syngonium is generally a medium-sized bushy plant but can also come in vining forms which grow a lot bigger. 

• There are many different varieties of Syngonium plants available, all with unique and vibrant coloured leaves 

• Syngonium is a great plant for beginners as it is so easy to care for. It is very versatile in terms of light requirements and can handle the occasional missed watering. Also, it can grow happily without any added fertiliser or humidity as well as Syngonium being simple to propagate.

💦 Water: Moderate

• Syngonium plants require an average amount of water - not too dry but not too wet, somewhere in between. 

• Let the soil partially dry between waterings and water depending on the temperature, more in hotter weather and during active growth.

•  If you overwater, Syngonium can become damaged whereas underwatering can lead to dead leaves and stems. To avoid overwatering use of a plant self watering system or soil moisture meter is recommended.

☀️ Light: Moderate

• Syngonium is very tolerant to different lighting conditions, especially low light, it can happily grow in a dark corner that other indoor plants might struggle with, albeit a little slower. 

• For the best growth, in particular, for the more colourful varieties, we recommend bright indirect light. However, make sure that Syngonium doesn’t receive any direct light as this can burn the delicate leaves. 

• A good tip is to rotate the plant regularly to ensure an even shape.

🌱 Growth: Medium sized bushy plant

• Syngonium grows into a medium sized bushy plant with medium to large leaves. 

•  They will grow in standard home humidity. 

✂️ Maintenance: Low

• Some types of Syngonium can grow relatively fast and can require regular pruning to maintain size and shape, especially the vining varieties. 

• Maintenance is simple, just remove spent dead leaves and trim any extended or overhanging stems with clean plant scissors. 

• Repotting can be done depending on the growth rate and size of the plant but doesnt need to be repotted more than once per year.
