Arrowhead Vine ( Syngonium podophyllum )

Arrowhead vine is an unusual plant. It has green leaves with slightly pink coloring on the top. The leaves begin arrow shaped and it has one leaf per stem in a rosette form. Later it will change in to a vine. When it does the leaves will change to a different shape with three to five finger like sections.

This one is growing well in a stained glass south facing window.

It prefers moist soil so water when the top of the soil is dry to the touch.

It is invasive in bogs and wet areas in the warm parts of the US so keep it as an indoor plant.

Southern Living rated it as one of the ten easiest to grow house plants.

    I used to own one of these plants. Thing was tough and were easy to grow for me at least. Hard to kill it.

    Yes it’s the perfect plant for black thumbed growers who love plants.
