Care guide
Arrowhead plants prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, as it can scorch their leaves. Place them near a window with filtered or curtain-filtered light. They can tolerate lower light conditions, but it may result in slower growth and less vibrant foliage.
Arrowhead plants thrive in temperatures between 60°F and 75°F (15°C and 24°C). They can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but are sensitive to cold drafts. Avoid placing them near windows or doors that may expose them to chilly air.
Arrowhead plants prefer consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Water them when the top inch (2.5 cm) of soil feels dry. Ensure thorough watering, allowing excess water to drain from the bottom of the pot. Avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.
Arrowhead plants appreciate higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity by using a room humidifier, placing the plant on a tray filled with pebbles and water, or grouping it with other plants. Misting the leaves occasionally can also help maintain humidity around the plant.
Use a well-draining soil mix for Arrowhead plants. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil works well. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogged roots.
Arrowhead plants benefit from regular fertilization during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer formulated for houseplants. Follow the package instructions for dilution ratios and frequency. Reduce or stop fertilization during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down
Arrowhead plants prefer slightly crowded roots and do not require frequent repotting. Repot when the plant becomes root-bound or outgrows its current pot. Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.
Regular pruning helps maintain the shape and health of Arrowhead plants. Trim off any dead, yellowed, or damaged leaves by cutting them off at the base. Prune leggy or overgrown stems to promote bushier growth. You can also pinch back the growing tips to encourage branching.
