Know before you buy
Yes, this plant is an excellent choice for beginners. It is known for its resilience and fast growth, requiring minimal effort to maintain its vibrant appearance.
This arrowhead plant prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help maintain the intensity of its golden variegation.
You should keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil regularly and water when it begins to feel slightly dry to the touch.
No, the Golden Allusion Arrowhead is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to cats and dogs.
Because of its vining nature, you can let it trail from a hanging basket or shelf for a cascading effect. If you prefer a bushier look, you can periodically trim the stems to encourage fuller growth.
