Syngonium Red Arrow

Meet the Syngonium Red Arrow 🌹

Dark, dramatic, and undeniably bold — the Syngonium Red Arrow (Syngonium podophyllum 'Red Arrow') is the moody, sophisticated member of the Syngonium family. Its arrow-shaped leaves are cloaked in deep burgundy-red and rich dark green, with striking reddish undersides that add another layer of drama. Whether trailing from a shelf or climbing a moss pole, this is a plant that commands attention and brings serious character to any space.

Care Guide

• Light: Medium to bright indirect light. The deep burgundy-red coloring is most dramatic with good light — low light will cause the rich red tones to fade to green.
• Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Consistent moisture without waterlogging — good drainage is essential. Reduce slightly in winter.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50%+). A pebble tray or humidifier will keep foliage rich and lush.
• Temperature: Thrives between 60–85°F (15–29°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temps below 55°F.
• Soil: Well-draining potting mix with perlite.
• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Skip in fall/winter.
• Growth Habit: Compact and bushy when young — perfect for desks and shelves. Develops a trailing/vining habit as it matures, stunning on a moss pole or left to cascade.
• Unique Feature: One of the darkest, moodiest Syngonium varieties — deep burgundy-red tones and rich dark undersides make it a bold statement plant.
• Pruning: Pinch back regularly to encourage full, bushy growth.
• Repotting: Every 1–2 years in spring when rootbound.

⚠️ Toxicity Warning: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
