The Syngonium, also known as Arrowhead Plant or Goosefoot Plant, is a versatile and attractive indoor plant. Itβs loved for its arrow-shaped leaves that come in various shades of green, cream, and even pink, depending on the variety. As the plant matures, its leaves become more deeply lobed. Syngonium is a fast-growing, trailing or climbing plant that's easy to care for, making it a favorite for homes and offices alike.
Prefers βbright, indirect sunlight.
Avoid placing in direct sun, especially during intense midday hours, as it can scorch the leaves.
In Qatar's bright climate, place near a north- or east-facing window or use sheer curtains to diffuse light.
Keep the soil evenly moist, but not soggy.
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
Reduce watering slightly in winter.
Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.
Thrives in well-draining, rich potting mix.
A mix of peat, perlite, and a bit of compost works well.
Avoid compact or clay-heavy soils that retain too much water.
Feed every 4β6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Do not over-fertilize, as this can damage the roots.
Pause feeding in the cooler months when growth slows down.

Prune regularly to control size and encourage bushier growth.
Cut back long vines to maintain a compact shape.
