A gorgeous mound of creamy white foliage touched with green combines with the arrowhead-shaped foliage to create an illusion of butterfly wings. The subtle color is a perfect accent to any decor. When she grows lush and full, she'll look wonderful cascading from a hanging basket.
Pot Size
3.5 - 4 inch standard plastic nursery pot.
Light
Although these plants are low-light tolerant, they will grow faster and maintain their vibrant coloring and markings if grown in medium to bright indirect light. Direct sun will scorch their leaves.
Water
Keep the soil moist but not too wet. A daily misting also goes a long way towards keeping the plant full of moisture without risking drowning it. Less frequent watering is needed in the winter when the air is a little damper and small but frequent doses of a balanced fertilizer can help to keep the plant in tip top health. Essentially, if you notice the plant or the surrounding soil looking a little crispy, make sure you give the plant a drink.
Plant Specific Care
Temperature
Arrowhead Vines will grow in most household temperatures. Keep them away from drafts and doorways during the winter months.
Humidity
Average household humidity 40-50% is adequate for these indoor plants, but most houseplants benefit from humidity over 60% if you can provide it.
Fertilizer
Arrowhead vines should be fertilized during the growing season with ½ strength complete liquid fert once a month. Or use a slow-release fertilizer or top-dress with worm castings or compost in early spring.
