The Arrowhead Plant (Syngonium podophyllum) is a versatile and attractive houseplant that features lush, arrow-shaped leaves. Known for being both beautiful and easy to care for, the Arrowhead Plant is an excellent choice for plant lovers of all experience levels.
Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where it thrives in warm, humid environments under the canopy of taller trees. In its natural habitat, it grows as a climbing vine soaking up indirect light filtered down from the trees above it.
