Syngonium ‘Pink’, often known as the Arrowhead Plant, is a charming evergreen climber prized for its delicate colour and graceful growth habit. When young, it forms a compact clump of heart- or arrow-shaped leaves that display a soft blend of pink, blush, and silvery-green tones. As the plant matures, the foliage gradually transforms, developing lobes that may divide into five to eleven slender, finger-like leaflets. The leaves remain glossy and slightly textured, giving the plant a lush, tropical character. Under favourable indoor conditions, it may occasionally produce arum-like flowerheads with pale cream spathes in summer, although these are modest compared to the striking foliage that defines this variety.

Growing Conditions

Syngonium ‘Pink’ thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers consistent warmth between eighteen and twenty-six degrees Celsius. Too much direct sunlight can fade the pink colouring, while low light may reduce growth and leaf size. It grows best in a well-draining, moisture-retentive compost rich in organic matter. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, allowing the upper layer to dry slightly before watering again. Regular misting helps maintain humidity, preserving the soft blush tones of the foliage. This plant can be grown as a climber using a moss pole for support or left to trail elegantly from a hanging basket or elevated shelf.

Care and Maintenance

This species is low-maintenance and adapts well to a variety of indoor settings. Feed every four to six weeks in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced fertiliser. Trim back longer stems to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. Repot every two years in fresh compost to support strong roots and vivid colour. Propagate easily from stem cuttings rooted in water or soil.

Environmental Benefits

Syngonium ‘Pink’ brings gentle colour and air-purifying qualities to living spaces. Its soft tones and trailing habit add calm and texture to modern interiors or plant collections.
