Syngonium & Arrowhead Vines (Syngonium spp.)
Syngonium (Arrowhead Vine) is a fast-growing tropical climber famous for arrow-shaped juvenile leaves that transition into deeply lobed mature foliage. Available in dreamy blush pink, creamy butter, and splash variegations, Syngoniums thrive in medium to bright indirect light with moderate care.
Syngonium foliage demonstrates dramatic heterophylly—juvenile leaves are simple, distinct arrowheads, but as the vine ascends a moss pole, mature leaves divide into 3 to 5 distinct leaflets.

Arrowhead Vine Care at a Glance
Medium to bright indirect light (200–600 fc). Pink varieties require brighter light to maintain pigment.
Allow top 40%–50% of potting mix to dry out before drenching. Never allow roots to sit in stagnant saucer water.
Porous aroid mix: 50% potting mix, 30% perlite, 20% orchid bark.
50%–70% RH. Pruning trailing vine tips encourages dense, bushy growth at the base.

Toxicity Notice for Pet Owners
All Syngonium species contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Chewing foliage releases micro-needles causing oral irritation, swelling, and drooling. Keep elevated away from curious pets.
