Syngonium 'Red Arrow' 4” NURSERY POT ONLY

• Botanical Name: Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow'
  

• Common Names: Red Arrow, Arrowhead Vine
  

• Description: Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow' is an evergreen climber from the aroid family, Araceae. It's commonly grown as a houseplant for its attractive foliage. Keep it moist in the growing period but allow to dry out a little in between watering during the winter. Keep in medium to bright light, out of direct sunlight.  It produces vibrant light green, arrow-shaped young leaves with vibrant purple undersides. The leaves develop into a completely different structure with age. Mature leaves are divided into 3 lobes or 5–9 distinct leaflets and these do not closely resemble the young arrow-shaped leaves.

Syngonium 'Red Arrow' is a beautiful plant with vibrant foliage. Here are some care tips for your Syngonium 'Red Arrow':

1. Light: Syngonium 'Red Arrow' prefers bright, indirect light. Place your plant near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.

2. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water your Syngonium when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be careful not to overwater as it can lead to root rot. During winter, reduce watering frequency as the plant's growth slows down.

3. Humidity: Syngonium 'Red Arrow' enjoys higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity by placing the plant on a tray filled with water and pebbles or by using a humidifier. Misting the leaves occasionally can also help.

4. Temperature: Syngonium 'Red Arrow' prefers temperatures between 60-75°F (15-24°C). Avoid exposing the plant to cold drafts or extreme temperatures.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture but doesn't become waterlogged. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil works well for Syngonium 'Red Arrow'.

6. Fertilizer: Feed your plant with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Follow the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for proper dosage.

7. Pruning: If your Syngonium 'Red Arrow' becomes leggy or develops long vines, you can prune it to encourage bushier growth. Simply trim back the stems to your desired length using clean pruning shears.

8. Toxicity: Keep in mind that Syngonium 'Red Arrow' is toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so it's important to keep it out of reach.

I hope these tips help you care for your Syngonium 'Red Arrow'! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. 🌿😊
