Know before you buy
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation or discomfort if ingested by cats or dogs, so it is best kept in a location out of reach.
This variety is quite adaptable and performs best in low to medium indoor light. While it can handle brighter spots, avoid direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch the delicate variegated leaves.
Yes, the White Butterfly Arrowhead is naturally vining. You can easily train it to climb a moss pole or trellis by gently securing the stems, or let it trail naturally from a tabletop or hanging basket.
This plant prefers consistently moist soil. Check the top inch of soil regularly; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water, but be careful not to let the plant sit in standing water.
Because this plant has a slow growth rate, it is easy to manage. Regular pruning of the stems will encourage the plant to branch out, resulting in a fuller, bushier appearance over time.
