Botanical Name: Syngonium podophyllum 'Red Arrowhead'

Common Name(s): Red Arrowhead Plant, Red Syngonium

The Red Arrowhead, a striking variety of Syngonium podophyllum, is known for its vibrant red and burgundy-colored leaves that gradually transform into green as the plant matures. The arrow-shaped leaves give this plant its distinctive look, and the red hues add a touch of bold color to any indoor space. This fast-growing and low-maintenance plant is a great choice for those looking to add a pop of color and tropical flair to their home or office.

Syngonium Red Arrowhead prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its rich coloration but can tolerate lower light conditions, though the vibrant reds may fade. It thrives in well-draining soil that remains consistently moist but not soggy. It’s important to allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings to avoid root rot. This plant is adaptable to average room temperatures and moderate humidity levels but will benefit from higher humidity, especially in drier environments.

Air Purifying Qualities:

• Toxin Removal: The Red Arrowhead is effective at removing common indoor air pollutants such as formaldehyde, xylene, and benzene, improving the air quality in your home or office.
• Oxygen Production: Like many houseplants, it absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, helping to improve the overall air quality.
• Humidity Regulation: This plant helps raise humidity levels slightly through natural transpiration, which can be beneficial in dry indoor environments.

Note: Syngonium Red Arrowhead is non-toxic to pets (cats and dogs), making it a safe choice for homes with animals. However, it's always a good idea to prevent pets from chewing on the leaves to avoid any potential digestive issues.
