Syngonium podophyllum 'Bronze'

Arrowhead Vine 'Bronze'

Nephthytis or Syngonium podophyllum - Arrowhead plant, or Arrowhead Ivy - is a versatile houseplant, with arrowhead-shaped leaves, sometimes variegated. It has a tendency to creep quietly around your home, and needs a certain amount of maintenance and pruning to keep it in check. All parts of the plant are poisonous. A delightful ornamental plant with dainty foliage, Syngonium Bronze is ideal for indoors or warm subtropical gardens. This small clumping variety grows best in small pots or planted under taller pot plants. Frost tender, keep indoors or outside with a minimum temp of 15deg. Fertilize regularly with liquid fertilizer and mist leaves regularly with a spray gun during hot weather to increase the humidity.

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Late Spring

They do pretty well when planred in small pots, however if you are watering more frequently or growth has slowed (and you want more), repot into a bigger pot during Spring using any standard compost mix. The soil should be light and free draining. In sub-tropical cilmates, this vine will grow well in dappled shade given adequate support on which to climb

Propagation by cuttings

From Early Spring TO Late Summer

Propagating a Syngonium is easy peasy. You can root cuttings in water, or straight into potting compost. Both methods have a good success rate - providing you cut the right part of the plant. You want a new growth shoot that either has one or two leaves already, (or the formation of one). Follow the growth shoot downwards several inches until you reach a pair of "nodes", these are a set of two small bumps (one on each side of the stem). The cut needs to be made just a few centimeters below the nodes because this is where the new roots come from
