Plant Description
Description
Syngonium podophyllum ‘Red Heart’, commonly known as the Arrowhead Plant ‘Red Heart’, is a beautiful tropical houseplant with soft arrow-shaped leaves that emerge in delicate shades of blush pink before maturing to a subtle mix of pink and green. Compact when young and capable of climbing as it matures, it's an easy-care plant that brings gentle colour to any indoor space.
PLANT CARE
Everything you need to know to keep your plant happy and thriving.
LIGHT
Medium Light
WATER
Moderate watering. Allow the top few centimetres of compost to dry out between waterings. Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged. Reduce watering slightly during winter.
SOIL
Free-draining aroid mix made from houseplant compost, orchid bark, and perlite to provide excellent drainage and airflow.
REPOT
Repot every 1–2 years in spring if rootbound. Move up one pot size only. Add a moss pole if you want the plant to climb and produce larger, more mature leaves.
HUMIDITY
Medium
DIFFICULTY

AIR PURIFYING

JOE'S TOP TIP
Bright, indirect light keeps the pink tones at their strongest. Trim long vines regularly to encourage a fuller, bushier plant, or allow it to climb for a more natural tropical look.
COMMON MISTAKE
Most people struggle with this plant by overwatering or growing it in low light, which can lead to faded colouring and leggy growth.
WHEN TO COME BACK TO US
Bring it back (or a photo) in 6–8 weeks if you want: • Repotting advice • Help training it to climb • A health check or propagation advice
PLANT FACT
As Syngoniums mature, their leaves can change shape from simple arrowheads into more deeply divided forms, especially when grown up a moss pole or other support.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
