Arrowhead Vines are fast growing, easy to care for plants from Central America.

They are often mistakenly identified as Philodendrons to whom they are closely related.

Their foliage colors range from bright green to bronze, with many variegated cultivars.

Syngoniums are also sometimes known as Goosefoot Plants or Nephthitis.

In their juvenile stage, Arrowheads form low mounding plants. As Arrowheads mature, their 5" leaves begin to elongate up to 12" and add multiple lobes. The plant will also begin to form three foot creeping vines, making them excellent for hanging baskets or they can be trained to climb up a moss covered pole, totem or trellis.

Arrowhead Vines are only hardy in USDA zones 10-12.

Plant the Arrowhead plant in a rich, well-drained potting mix.

Water thoroughly, but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering from fall through late winter. Avoid overwatering as it will cause leaves to discolor and drop, and can cause root rot.

Arrowhead Plants prefer daytime temperatures of 70°-75° with cooler nights, but never below 60°. During the dry winter months, you should mist the foliage daily or place the planter on a tray filled with moistened pebbles.

Pinch new tip growth to retain a compact growth habit.

When they are actively growing, feed Arrowhead Plants monthly, using a half strength solution of a soluble balanced fertilizer.

Arrowhead Plants should be repotted every two years, in the spring. The root structure can be divided in half at this time as a method of propagation.

The easiest method for propagating Arrowleaf Plants is with stem tip cuttings that can be taken at any time of the year. Arrowleaf cuttings rooted easily in water, but the roots will be more brittle than if rooted in soil, so you should use care not to damage them when planting.

Always wear gloves when working with Arrowleaf plants as their sap may irritate the skin!
