Frequently bought together

Total:

Syngonium podophyllum, the Arrowhead Plant, is a versatile aroid grown for its arrow-shaped leaves that shift colour and shape with age. Available in green, pink, cream and variegated forms, it works as a compact tabletop plant when young and a trailing or climbing vine as it matures. Extremely adaptable, it tolerates a wide range of indoor conditions and low light, making it one of the easiest houseplants in India. It purifies indoor air and roots quickly from cuttings, so it is a favourite for offices, homes and gifting. Pinch regularly to keep it full and bushy.

Growing tips

Pinch growing tips regularly to keep the plant bushy rather than leggy. In Indian summers keep it in bright shade and mist occasionally to maintain leaf colour.

Syngonium Variegated Care

Syngonium podophyllum thrives in bright, indirect light, which keeps its cream-and-green variegation crisp and prevents the leaves from reverting to plain green. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry and use a well-draining potting mix, as the roots dislike sitting in soggy soil. Average indoor humidity suits it well, and a monthly feed during the growing season keeps new arrowhead leaves coming.

Where to Place Syngonium in Your Home

This variegated Syngonium is happiest a metre or two from an east- or north-facing window where it gets steady, filtered light without harsh midday sun. It works beautifully on a shelf, desk or side table, and its trailing habit as it matures makes it a natural fit for a hanging planter or a spot where the stems can cascade. Kitchens and bathrooms with good natural light suit it too, thanks to the extra moisture in the air.

Syngonium Benefits & Uses

Syngonium is a compact, fast-growing foliage plant that adds soft texture and a splash of variegated colour to indoor spaces without demanding much room. It is popular for tabletops, workspaces and shelf styling, and can be trained up a moss pole or left to trail as it grows. Its easy-going nature makes it a reliable choice for beginners building their first indoor plant collection.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water Syngonium?
Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil dries, roughly every 5-7 days indoors. Reduce in winter and when light is low.
Can Syngonium grow in low light?
Yes, it tolerates low to moderate light, though brighter indirect light keeps the variegation and pink tones vivid.
Is Syngonium safe for pets?
No. It contains calcium oxalate and is toxic to cats, dogs and humans if ingested; keep it out of reach.
How do I keep it bushy instead of leggy?
Pinch or trim the growing tips regularly. This encourages branching and keeps the plant compact and full.
How do I propagate Syngonium?
Take a stem cutting with a node and root it in water or moist soil; it roots within a couple of weeks.
When should I repot it?
Repot every 1-2 years or when roots crowd the pot, ideally in spring, into fresh well-draining aroid mix.
Why are the leaf tips turning brown?
Usually low humidity, underwatering or salt build-up. Mist occasionally, water consistently and flush the soil periodically.
Can I grow Syngonium outdoors?
Yes, in shaded balconies or under tree cover. Protect it from direct harsh sun and cold winter drafts.
Does Syngonium purify air?
Yes, it is among the common foliage plants noted for helping remove indoor air pollutants in studies.
How do I fertilize it?
Use a balanced diluted liquid fertilizer once a month during the active growing season; avoid feeding in winter.
