Understanding Your Arrowhead Plant
Before we dive into the care routine, it’s essential to understand your plant. Arrowhead plants (Syngonium podophyllum) are native to tropical rainforests in Central and South America. This means they prefer a warm, humid environment with filtered sunlight. Now, let’s move on to the care tips!

1. Proper Placement is Key
Arrowhead plants thrive in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch their leaves. A perfect solution? Desk planters! These petite planters not only fit seamlessly into your workspace but also provide the ideal amount of light for your arrowhead plant to flourish.

2. Choosing the Right Planter
Investing in premium planters not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your space but also promotes the health of your plant. Opt for big planters that allow the roots to spread comfortably. This not only aids in proper growth but also reduces the frequency of repotting. You can choose from a variety of materials from earthy terracotta, FRP pots or ceramic planters.

3. Watering Wisely
Arrowhead plants prefer consistently moist soil. Ensure your planter has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. If your planter doesnt come with drainage holes, we would suggest placing a plastic pot into your decorative planter so as to prevent root rot. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. In India’s climate, this might mean more frequent watering, so keep an eye on your plant’s moisture needs.

4. Humidity Matters
These tropical beauties adore humidity. Create a humid environment by misting the plant or placing a humidifier nearby. Alternatively, you can place your arrowhead plant on a tray filled with water and pebbles, ensuring the pot doesn't touch the water directly.

5. Feeding Your Plant
During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your arrowhead plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks. This provides the necessary nutrients for lush, vibrant foliage. Make sure not to over fertilise your arrow head plants as this can lead to the plant dying due to excess fertlisation.

6. Regular Pruning
To encourage bushy growth, regularly prune your arrowhead plant. Trim the long stems and yellow leaves to maintain its shape and promote new growth.
