8" Arrowhead Plant

  • The Arrowhead plant goes by a variety of names, including syngonium and nephthytis, is an excellent houseplant for low light (no matter what you call it!). 

As the plants grow and mature, they develop a climbing habit, making them fun to grow up trellises or other structures. (But don't worry, Arrowhead vine is easy to prune and keep bushy if you don't want it growing up.)

Grow arrowhead plant (nephthytis) in low- or medium-light spots. Most varieties of this low-light houseplant can grow in brighter light, as long as they're not exposed to too much direct sun, especially in hot-summer climates. Arrowhead plant can suffer from sunburn -- white, bleached areas on the leaves -- in direct sun.

Water arrowhead plant when the soil surface starts to dry. This plant likes to be on the moist side, but not wet or soggy.
