watering

The Arrowhead Plant should be watered once a week, allowing the top layer of soil to become dry before watering. When watering, give it enough water so that it is damp throughout the pot, but not soaking wet. In the summer, you may need to water a bit more frequently, and in the winter, reduce the frequency of watering.

sunlight

The arrowhead plant (Syngonium podophyllum 'Neon Robusta') needs bright, indirect sunlight for about 6 hours a day. This means that it should be positioned where it gets direct sunlight for no more than 4 hours a day, as direct sunlight can burn the delicate leaves. For optimal growth, the plant should get direct sunlight for only 2-3 hours a day. The rest of the day should be shaded or only receive indirect sunlight.

pruning

Arrowhead plants are moderate growers and respond well to regular pruning. It is recommended to prune the plant at least twice a year in the spring and summer months. Cut the plant back close to where new growth is visible, making sure not to cut too close to the base or it may suffer damage. Doing this will encourage the plant to become denser and bushier, and it will help to maintain the desired shape of the arrowhead plant foliage. In addition, be sure to remove any dead or damaged leaves from the plant as this will help with the aesthetics and health of the plant.
