Arrowhead Vine (Syngonium angustatum)

Syngonium angustatum, commonly known as Arrowhead Vine or Arrowhead Plant, is a popular and versatile houseplant appreciated for its arrow-shaped leaves and attractive foliage. This plant is native to Central and South America and is part of the Araceae family.

Arrowhead Vine prefers moderate watering; allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. It thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Maintaining an indoor temperature between 60-75°F (16-24°C) and average indoor humidity is suitable for this plant.

When potting, use a well-draining potting mix to prevent overwatering and root rot. Fertilize the Syngonium angustatum every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer to support its growth and maintain its lush foliage.

Please note that Arrowhead Vine is toxic if ingested and may cause skin irritation, so handle it with care and keep it out of reach of pets and children. Its elegant foliage and easy care requirements make it a popular choice for indoor gardens, hanging baskets, or decorative displays, adding a touch of natural beauty to any indoor space.
