Syngonium podophyllum, commonly known as arrowhead vine or arrowhead plant, is a perennial herbaceous vine native to a wide range of habitats in Latin America, including rainforests, riverbanks, and forest clearings. It is an evergreen climber that can reach lengths of up to 5 feet (1.5 meters) when grown indoors, with a tendency to sprawl or climb if given support. The plant is characterized by its distinctive arrow-shaped leaves, which can be solid green or variegated with shades of white, pink, or yellow. Flowering is rare in cultivation, but when it occurs, the plant produces small, inconspicuous greenish-white flowers.

Arrowhead vine is appreciated for its attractive foliage and versatility as a houseplant. It can be used in hanging baskets, trained on a trellis, or simply grown as a potted plant. It is easy to care for, requiring bright, indirect light and regular watering, but it is tolerant of lower light conditions. The plant prefers high humidity and well-draining soil. It can be easily propagated from stem cuttings, making it a popular choice for sharing among gardeners. However, it is potentially invasive in some regions, such as Florida and Hawaii, where it can outcompete native flora. Gardeners should be cautious about planting it outdoors in areas where it may become a problem.CC BY-SA 4.0
