Syngonium podophyllum is a species of aroid, and commonly cultivated as a houseplant. Common names include: arrowhead plant, arrowhead vine, arrowhead philodendron, goosefoot, African evergreen, and American evergreen.
The Pictures depict the mother plant, the 4” and 6” Rooted Starter Plants, and 2 Fresh Raw cuttings 6” or longer. The Rooted starters have been growing for about 6 months.
All Rooted Starter plants and rooted cuttings will vary in size and leaf growth.
Arrowhead plants have diamond-shaped leaves growing on trailing vines. In their native environment of tropical rainforests, the climbing plants can grow as tall as 32 to 65 ft. (10 – 20 m). Indoors Syngonium is a fast-growing plant species that grows to between 3 and 6 ft. (0.9 – 1.8 m) and a spread of up to 2 ft. (60 cm).
Syngonium arrowhead plants are incredibly versatile houseplants that grow in most indoor conditions. You can prune the plant to encourage bushy growth. Or, you can let its trailing vines dangle down over a hanging basket. Arrowhead plants are also vigorous climbers that can grow a few feet up a moss pole to create an attractive visual accent.
The best locations to grow Syngonium plants are on an east-facing or north-facing windowsill, or in a west or south-facing room away from the window. Arrowhead plants also make excellent shower plants as they thrive in humid conditions and aren’t fussy about light. You can also grow these plants in hanging baskets in a shaded corner of a room.
Just remember the following tips about growing arrowhead plants outdoors:
* Put the arrowhead plant pot or hanging basket in a bright location out of direct sunlight.
* Bring the container indoors when the nighttime temperature drops below 60°F (15°C).
* Keep the plants away from pets or children as arrowhead plants are toxic.
