Syngonium auritum, commonly known as Arrowhead Vine, is a member of the Araceae family and is native to tropical regions of Central and South America. It is a climbing plant that thrives in wet tropical climates. The plant is known for its arrow-shaped leaves and can grow both indoors and outdoors in suitable conditions.
Syngonium auritum prefers bright, indirect light and should be kept in moderate temperatures. It thrives in high humidity and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
土壤
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A mix of peat, perlite, and potting soil works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.
肥料
Feed Syngonium auritum with a balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10) every month during the growing season. Reduce feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
换盆
Repot the plant every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is one size larger and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its current pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.
传播
Propagate Syngonium auritum through stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one node and place it in water or moist soil. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment until roots develop, then transplant it to a pot.
修剪
Prune the plant regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves and trim back any overgrown stems. Pruning can be done throughout the year as needed.
毒性
Syngonium auritum is toxic to pets and humans if ingested. The plant contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling in the mouth and throat. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
