Arrowhead Plant- Syngonium

The Arrowhead Plant has quickly become a popular evergreen houseplant due to its attractive coarse-textured, heart-shaped leaves and fast-growing easy-to-care-for ability allowing it to thrive in many homes.

This crazy rewarding, highly underrated climbing plant hails from the South American tropics and provides your indoors with a fresh green ambience. As part of the Araceae family, Arrowhead plants not only are beautiful with their wide range of colours, from lime green, and white to pink, to deep purple but serve as natural air purifiers. If given more light the variegation on the leaves becomes more prominent and vibrant.
