Plant Bio

The Syngonium podophyllum ‘albo-variegatum’, commonly known as the Variegated Arrowhead Vine, hails from the Araceae family which has around 20 to 30 species found in the tropical and subtropical regions in Central and South America.

The plant is also grown widespread across Mexico and Brazil and are highly coveted because of their gorgeous variegation and reputation as a fast-growing climber. The Syngonium Albo Variegatum has unwavering popularity among growers. It is no doubt that they make an excellent houseplant being not only attractive but is also an easy one to grow.

Given their natural habitat, which is usually around forest floors, Variegated Syngonium plants are used to receiving dappled light. Note that too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to scorch and have a white bleached appearance.

Ideally, you should water your Arrowhead plant once the top inch of the soil surface feels dry to the touch. A moist soil but not too soggy is what you’re after. Plus with regular watering, the plant tends to grow quickly.

During the spring and summer, it is best to have your arrowhead vine dry out partially in between watering cycles but should never be left to dehydrate completely, as this can result in yellow leaves. Meanwhile, at the onset of winter, watering is subsequently reduced.

While it’s correct to assume that variegated Syngonium would prefer a warm spot and a high humidity level, an average room temperature ( if treated as an indoor plant ) would work just fine.

Try to maintain an even temperature between 60°F and 80°F (15°C – 26°C). Not letting the room temperature drop below 60°F ensures faster and optimum growth. However, it’s important to note that a warmer temperature would require you to water your plants more often.
