🌎 Country of origin: India

Syngonium erythrophyllum, the red-leaf arrowhead, is a compact, slow-spreading species prized for its small, arrow-shaped leaves that are deep green above and rich wine-red to burgundy beneath. The contrast is especially striking when leaves catch the light or trail at eye level. More restrained in growth than common syngoniums, it keeps a neat, clumping form for longer. It thrives in bright indirect light and warm, humid indoor conditions, and rewards good light with deeper colour. Easy to care for and undemanding, it suits both beginners and collectors who want a darker, jewel-toned arrowhead for shelves, desks and indoor groupings.

Growing tips

In India keep it in bright indirect light to bring out the deep red undersides, and maintain humidity in dry months; shield from direct sun, which fades and scorches the leaves.

Syngonium Erythrophyllum Care

Syngonium erythrophyllum thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps hold its variegation and deep reddish-purple undersides. Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry, and use a well-draining, airy potting mix to avoid soggy roots. It enjoys moderate to high humidity and average indoor warmth, making it an easy vining or trailing houseplant for Indian homes. Feed a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month through the growing season for steady new leaves.

Syngonium Varieties & Types

Syngonium (arrowhead plant) comes in many forms, from the classic green-and-white to pinks, and the darker Syngonium erythrophyllum with its variegated leaves and rich burgundy backs. This variegated type stands out for the contrast between its patterned upper leaf and coloured underside. It stays compact when young and can be trained up a moss pole or left to trail. Choose the size that fits your spot from the options on this page.

Where to place Syngonium Erythrophyllum

Place it near a bright window with filtered light, such as an east-facing sill or a few feet back from a south-facing window, to keep the variegation strong. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves. It works well on shelves, desks, bathrooms and living rooms where humidity is a little higher. Keep it away from cold draughts and direct air-conditioning flow.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water it?

Water when the top 2 cm of soil dries, keeping it lightly moist; about every 4-6 days in summer and less often in winter.

What light does it need?

Bright indirect light is ideal and deepens the burgundy underside colour. Avoid direct sun, which scorches the foliage.

Is this plant toxic to pets?

Yes. Like all syngoniums it contains calcium oxalate and is toxic to cats, dogs and humans if chewed.

When should I repot it?

Repot every 1-2 years or when root-bound, using a light, well-draining mix and a pot one size up.

How do I propagate Syngonium erythrophyllum?

Take a stem cutting with a node and root it in water or moist soil; it roots in a few weeks.

Why are the undersides not very red?

Low light reduces the red pigment. Move it to brighter indirect light to intensify the burgundy colour.

Does it flower indoors?

It seldom flowers indoors and is grown for its striking two-toned foliage.

Can I keep it outdoors?

Yes, in shade or bright shade; protect it from direct sun and cold winter drafts.

Is it slower-growing than other syngoniums?

Yes, it has a more compact, restrained habit, which makes it easy to keep neat on a shelf.

How should I fertilize it?

Feed a balanced liquid fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season and stop in winter.
