Arrowhead Plant/ Goosefoot 6"

$19.99
The Arrowhead Plant, also known as Goosefoot (scientific name: Syngonium podophyllum), is a popular indoor plant appreciated for its arrow-shaped leaves and low maintenance needs. It belongs to the Araceae family and is native to Latin America.

This plant is prized for its attractive foliage, which typically starts off as arrow-shaped and matures into a more complex shape as it grows. The leaves can vary in color, ranging from green to variegated patterns with shades of white, cream, or pink.

Arrowhead plants are relatively easy to care for, thriving in bright, indirect light but tolerating lower light conditions. They prefer well-draining soil and regular watering, allowing the top inch or two of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering.

These plants can be grown in hanging baskets, on trellises, or as trailing plants, making them versatile for various indoor settings. They also have air-purifying qualities, helping to improve indoor air quality.

Propagation is straightforward, usually done through stem cuttings placed in water or directly in soil. Arrowhead plants are generally resistant to pests and diseases, but proper care and occasional pruning can help maintain their health and appearance.

Overall, the Arrowhead Plant is a beautiful and easy-to-grow option for indoor gardening enthusiasts, adding a touch of greenery and elegance to any indoor space.
