Syngonium erythrophyllum is part of the Araceae family, it is native to Columbia and Panama. The cultivar 'Red Arrow' has dark green, sagittate leaves, they're coriaceous with red undersides and arranged alternately along the stem. Providing the plant with something to climb will encourage larger leaves. 

Genus name comes from the Greek 'syn' meaning together and 'gone' meaning reproductive organs for the united ovaries. Specific epithet means 'red leaf' in Greek.

 

Light: Bright indirect light, meaning the plant sees the sun for 0-4 hours per day - this could be through trees or a translucent curtain, it’s important for the plant to see the sky in order to thrive.

Potting mix: A well draining mix composed of coco coir, perlite or vermiculite, orchid bark and worm castings.
