ABOUT ARROWHEAD PLANT

One of the reasons the Arrowhead plant has been popular for over a century, is the fact that it is both attractive and easy to grow.

This simple yet elegant plant is known for its ability to clean the air of harmful VOCs.

It is often used in Feng Shui designs, as it creates the ideal balance of Ying and Yang.

WATERING

When should I water my Arrowhead plant?

To see if your plant needs water, stick your finger about an inch down into the soil. If it feels dry, water. If the soil feels moist, do not water. If you are unsure, check again in a few days.

Never mist your foliage. Misting leaves causes fungal issues and disease. The only plants that are okay to mist are ferns and carnivorous plants.

LIGHT NEEDS

Arrowhead plants grow best in medium or bright indirect light but also can withstand low light.

GROWTH

The Arrowhead plant is a vine that will continue to grow unless it is pruned.

SOIL NEEDS

The Arrowhead plant prefers a well-drained soil mix.

TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY

The Arrowhead plant thrives in high humidity. Place on a tray filled with pebbles and water for increased humidity.

FERTILIZING

Fertilize your Arrowhead plant March through October. To help the plant grow optimally and evenly, occasionally dust the leaves, and rotate the pot by a ¼ turn once a month.

IS THE ARROWHEAD PLANT PET SAFE?

According to the ASPCA, Arrowhead Plant is toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you notice the leaves of your Arrowhead plant are suffering from sunburn with white, bleached out areas on the leaves, move the plant to a location without direct sunlight.
