Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow'

Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow' grows with narrow arrowhead leaves that show a dark green to near-black upper surface and a red to burgundy reverse. The colour contrast becomes especially visible once the stems extend, because the undersides flash through when the plant trails or climbs.

This smaller-leaved Syngonium stays neat when young, then gradually sends out vining stems from its nodes. It can be trained upward or allowed to hang so the red leaf backs remain visible from the side.

Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow' leaf profile

  • Plant type: Climbing and trailing tropical aroid from the Araceae family.
  • Leaf shape: Narrow arrowhead to sagittate leaves on slender vining stems.
  • Leaf colour: Dark green upper surfaces with a red, burgundy or wine-toned underside.
  • Growth habit: Compact when young, then gradually extending from nodes as stems lengthen.
  • Pot use: Can be grown in a hanging pot, on a shelf edge or on a climbing support where the leaf backs can be seen.
  • Natural range: Syngonium erythrophyllum is recorded from Panama in wet tropical forest conditions.
  • Safety: Contains calcium oxalate crystals and should be kept away from pets and children.

Indoor growth of Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow'

Syngonium erythrophyllum is a climbing species, so 'Red Arrow' develops beyond its compact young shape with age. In indoor pots, the stems can lengthen and root from nodes when they meet a moist surface or climbing material.

The red underside changes how the plant looks as the stems move. A trailing stem shows the colour from below, while a supported stem keeps the leaves closer together and can reduce long bare gaps between nodes. Pruning above a node shortens older stems and encourages fresh side growth.

Care for Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow'

  • Light: Place in bright filtered light or gentle indirect light; harsh direct sun can mark the dark leaf surface and scorch exposed edges.
  • Watering: Water when the upper part of the substrate has dried, then let excess water drain fully from the pot.
  • Substrate: Use an airy aroid mix with bark, coco chips, perlite or mineral components so fine roots do not sit in dense wet soil.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity helps new leaves open evenly during active stem growth.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable; cold wet substrate can slow the roots and cause soft yellowing leaves.
  • Fertilising: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser, then reduce feeding when growth slows.
  • Pruning: Cut above a node to shorten long stems and encourage new side growth lower on the plant.
  • Propagation: Root stem cuttings with at least one node in water, sphagnum or a light propagation mix.
  • Repotting: Move up one pot size when roots fill the pot; an oversized pot stays wet too long around the root ball.
  • Mineral substrate: A careful transition to inert substrate is possible when old soil is removed and the water level stays below the stem base.

Problems on Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow'

  • Crisp edges: Dry roots, low humidity or heat near glass can dry the thin leaf margins.
  • Yellow leaves: Persistently wet substrate can weaken roots and soften the lower foliage.
  • Long bare stems: Low light or missed pruning can stretch the vine and reduce leaf density.
  • Leaf scorch: Pale, dry patches can appear after direct sun, especially on exposed new leaves.
  • Pests: Check leaf undersides and nodes for thrips, spider mites and mealybugs, especially on stressed plants.

Safety for Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow'

Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow' contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Chewing the leaves or stems can irritate the mouth, throat and digestive tract, so keep the plant out of reach of pets and small children.

Botanical background for Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow'

Syngonium erythrophyllum is an accepted species in Araceae. The epithet combines Greek elements for red and leaf, matching the red-toned undersides seen on this plant in cultivation.

Train Syngonium erythrophyllum 'Red Arrow' upward for closer leaf spacing, or let it trail where the burgundy backs can show along the stems.

Sturdy but stitched weird
This is a sturdy toy with thick fabric. I love the printing and the rope inside. My coonhound destroys anything resembling plush in a heartbeat and this is perfect for her. The weird thing is the stitching. When making something with a pattern, you'd usually turn the outsides to each other, stitch it up, then turn it "inside out" (which is then actually right-side out) and stitch up the last bit after filling or whatever. This was just put together right-side out and stitched, so it looks kind of unfinished. The stitching is solid, no complaints there, but it keeps it from being a great gift, which it could be if it was stitched better. When I looked at the pictures of the different options I noticed some were stitched like mine and some "normally". Weird. Otherwise great.

Not heavy duty
Took my Golden Doodle less than 2 hours to free the rope from the inside, the squeaker didn't even squeak when we got it
