SPECIES CARE GUIDE

Wendlandii Arrowhead Vine (Syngonium wendlandii)

Use this guide as a starting point for caring for this species at home.

Lighting

Choose medium to bright indirect light and keep the leaves out of strong direct sun.

Let the mix dry slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly, then empty any water that collects in the saucer or outer pot.

Use a potting mix that holds some moisture and drains freely. Clemson suggests equal parts coir or peat moss, vermiculite, and perlite.

Moderate to high humidity suits indoor Syngonium. Around 50% or higher is a useful starting point.

Aim for 65–75°F as a general indoor range.

Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer about once a month during spring and summer growth. Feed less in lower light.

Check under leaves and along stems for spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Arrowhead vines can also develop bacterial leaf spots and stem rot.

Toxic to cats and dogs if chewed. Insoluble calcium oxalate crystals can cause mouth irritation, drooling, and trouble swallowing. Keep out of reach.

Look for elongated, velvety green leaves with a pale stripe down the center. Give the vine a support if you want it to climb.
