Syngonium

Which Syngonium Arrowhead Plant Should You Choose?

Syngonium, also called arrowhead vine, is a climbing tropical houseplant whose young leaves have an arrowhead shape. If you want a pink arrowhead plant, compare Strawberry's warmer pink-red leaves with Confetti's green leaves speckled pink and Milk Confetti's softer cream-and-pink pattern. For a pale display, Moonshine has near-white foliage and White Butterfly has silvery-green leaves. Gold adds yellow-green warmth; Merry brings darker red-green tones. These are different looks, not interchangeable names for the same plant.

Prefer texture over pastel color? Ice Frost is listed as Syngonium macrophyllum with thicker, frosted-looking leaves; Black Velvet is Syngonium wendlandii with dark velvety leaves and a contrasting pale midrib. Red Arrow is listed as Syngonium erythrophyllum, with purple-red leaf undersides that show especially well from an elevated shelf. The collection also includes two- and three-plant variety packs if you want several arrowhead plants together; check each listing for how its assortment is selected.

Can Syngonium Trail or Climb Indoors?

Yes. Young arrowhead plants often look compact, but their stems can lengthen and trail over a shelf or grow upward with support. A moss pole or trellis is an option if you want to encourage larger, more mature foliage; a raised planter works if you prefer a trailing vine. Give colorful and variegated varieties bright indirect light to show their pattern without harsh direct sun. Check the soil before watering instead of relying on a fixed schedule, and use the individual listing for variety-specific care.

Pet safety: Syngonium is toxic if chewed or swallowed, so keep these plants away from pets and children. Browse the individual plants below to choose by foliage color, texture, and the space where you plan to grow them.
