Product Details
Scientific name: syngonium erythrophyllum (blushing-leafed plant with carpels) 'red arrow'. Common name: arrowhead vine, african evergreen, nephthytis, goosefoot plant 'red arrow'. Origin: tropical rainforests of south america. Syngoniums, commonly referred to as arrowhead plants due to the spiky shape of their leaves, will love you if you keep them humid! As the name suggests, this variety's arrowhead leaves are tinged a delicate red-pink, providing a gorgeous contrast with the green undersides of the leaves. Choose this variety to include a splash of red in your interior design and brighten up your home with a truly unusual plant colour. Light: likes bright, indirect light; too little or too much light and you may lose the variegation, and too much direct sunlight will cause spindly growth. Humidity: syngoniums love high humidity- they will benefit from frequent misting or the introduction of a humidity tray. Food: feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter. Temperature: average household temperatures of about 18-26°c are perfect. Sprouts top tips: if the tips of the leaves are browning, it is probably too dry for your plant; try misting it or making a humidity tray to increase humidity!
