Syngonium podophyllum ‘Pixie’ | Arrowhead Plant

Syngonium podophyllum ‘Pixie’ is a compact variety of Arrowhead Plant, with small, arrow-shaped leaves decorated in shades of green and creamy white. Syngonium podophyllum is native to tropical Central and South America, where it grows as a climbing vine through the forest. ‘Pixie’ keeps a smaller, neater shape, making her a lovely choice for desks and smaller spaces.

☀️ Light
Prefers bright, indirect light. She'll tolerate some lower light, but her variegation may become less pronounced. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can scorch her leaves.

💧 Watering
Water when the top couple of centimetres of compost feel dry. Water thoroughly and allow excess to drain away. Avoid leaving her roots sitting in water, and reduce watering during autumn and winter.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Enjoys temperatures between 18-27°C and appreciates moderate to high humidity. Average household conditions are usually fine, but keep her away from cold draughts and radiators.

🪴 Potting
Use a well-draining houseplant compost. A mix containing perlite will help keep the roots healthy and prevent the compost from becoming waterlogged.

✂️ Pruning
Pinch out growing tips to encourage a fuller shape and trim away any damaged or yellowing leaves. Use clean scissors to keep her looking neat.

🌿 Growing Tips
Although ‘Pixie’ is a compact variety, Syngoniums can develop climbing or trailing stems as they mature. Give her a little support if you want to encourage upward growth, or allow longer stems to spill over the edge of a shelf.

🐾 Pet Friendly
Not pet friendly. Syngoniums contain calcium oxalate crystals and are toxic to cats and dogs if eaten.
