Arrowhead Plant 'Cream Allusion' (Syngonium)
Syngonium podophyllum 'Cream Allusion'
Soft cream-and-green arrow leaves on an easy, fast-growing climber.
About This Botanical
The Arrowhead Plant 'Cream Allusion' (Syngonium podophyllum) grows arrow-shaped leaves in soft cream, lime and green. Leaf color varies from plant to plant and deepens as the plant matures. Young plants are bushy, and older stems start to vine, so you can pinch it back to keep it full or let it climb a small pole.
It is an easy grower: bright indirect light keeps the pale coloring, and it likes the soil to dry slightly between waterings (check the top inch). ASPCA lists arrowhead vine (Syngonium podophyllum) as toxic to cats and dogs (insoluble calcium oxalates). Keep it out of reach of pets and children.
Ships in a 3" nursery grow pot, covered by our 30-day Live Arrival Guarantee.

“Why are new leaves turning greener?”
Arrowhead plants naturally darken with age and in lower light. More bright, indirect light helps keep the creamy coloring.
