Syngoniums commonly called Goosefoot Vine, Arrowhead Plant, Arrowhead Vine, African Evergreen, Arrowhead Philodendron, American Evergreen or Nephthytis are compact, fast-growing plants with spectacular arrow-shaped leaves which change shape as the plant grows.
The young leaves are borne on erect stems and the variegation is boldest and brightest at this stage. With age the stems acquire a climbing habit and may be upto 5 feet long while the leaves become lobed. Arrowhead Vine is one of the best small plants for the limited spaces.
Syngonium podophyllum is native the tropical regions of Latin America from Mexico to Bolivia and naturalized in West Indies, Florida, Texas and Hawaii. It is one the best tropical foliage plants for indoors.
Unfortunately, all parts of Syngoniums are toxic to humans and pets and can cause severe pain in the mouth if eaten. The plant sap contains oxalic acid which can cause severe burning sensations on the skin and eye damage.
Nonetheless, Arrowhead Vines are easy to grow and flourish in bright, indirect light (dappled light), average warmth of 15-280C, moderate humidity of 50-55% and consistently moist, rich, well-drained, all purpose potting soils coupled with monthly feeding during the growing season.
Arrowhead Vine has many variegated cultivars with the main difference being in the position and extent of the colored markings. Some leaves are almost entirely white, pink, red or yellow.
The varieties with variegated leaves require a more brighter spot to maintain the variegation but the dark-green leaved ones can grow in darker spaces.
Where the natural lighting is not adequate, consider investing in grow lights to ensure that the plant receives the correct amount of light. Learn how to grow and care for Syngonium (Arrowhead Vines).
