The "Watermelon" Arrowhead

IMG_5639.jpg

Also known as the Goosefoot plant. Or if you want to sound clever, Syngonium Podophyllum. There are quite a few coloured varieties available in shades of greens, creams, pinks and reds. I have a soft spot for what I like to call the Watermelon Arrowhead. Found this when it just had two leaves. So I'm quite happy it now has 6.  

When this plant matures, the leaves changes its shape to what seems like goose feet (hence the moniker). Personally, I don't like the leaves looking this way. You can stop it from maturing by pruning your plant often and keeping it youthful and compact. 

Difficulty level: Quite easy

Sunlight: Loves light but not direct sunlight. So the corridor is great. Appreciates dapple light from the morning or afternoon sun. 

Water: Hydrate when top of soil feels dry. It likes moist soil but don't let it stand in water. Enjoys a good misting, especially on hot days.
