Syngonium 'Red Arrow'

         Syngonium Red Arrow (Syngonium erythrophyllum ‘Red Arrow’) 

The Syngonium Red Arrow is a striking houseplant known for its unique and vibrant foliage. This plant features arrow-shaped leaves that are dark green with a velvety texture, while the undersides of the leaves showcase a rich burgundy hue, giving it the nickname ‘Red Arrow’. As the leaves mature, they change shape from arrow-like to a more lobed appearance, adding to the plant’s dynamic beauty.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the colors to fade.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.
• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark can improve drainage.
• Humidity: Thrives in high humidity. Regular misting or using a humidifier can help maintain the necessary moisture levels.
• Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced, diluted fertilizer.

This easy-to-care-for plant is perfect for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. The Syngonium Red Arrow not only adds a lush, green touch to your home but also brings a piece of the tropical rainforest into your living space. Just be cautious, as it is toxic to pets and humans if ingested.

• 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.
