Syngonium (Arrowhead Plant)

Care Requirements

• Light:
  Prefers medium to bright indirect light. Tolerates low-light conditions but may grow more slowly and with less vibrant foliage.

• Watering:
  Water regularly during the spring and summer months. Reduce watering in winter. Ensure pots have good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

• Soil:
  Requires a well-draining potting mix. Always use a container with drainage holes to avoid root rot.

• Temperature:
  Thrives in temperatures between 60–85°F (16–29°C). Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts or temperatures below 60°F (16°C).

• Fertilizer:
  Feed every 4–6 weeks during the active growing season using a balanced indoor plant fertilizer.

Care Tips

• Prune occasionally to encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess.

• Rotate the plant regularly to ensure even light exposure.

• Support trailing vines with a moss pole or trellis if desired.

Common Problems

• Yellowing leaves: Often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage.

• Faded or leggy growth: Typically due to low light or lack of nutrients.

• Brown tips: Can result from low humidity or inconsistent watering.

Additional Information

• Toxicity:
  Toxic to humans and pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.

• Pest Resistance:
  Not naturally pest-resistant. Ensure proper lighting, use balanced fertilizer, and apply neem oil or insecticidal soap as needed to prevent common pests such as spider mites or aphids.

• Air Purification:
  Known for its air-purifying properties. Helps filter indoor pollutants and contributes to increased humidity in the surrounding environment.
