Description
As a young plant, its leaves start out heart-shaped, then gradually become arrowhead shaped as it matures. The leaves will be arrow-shaped rather than the adult lobed style. Its dark-green leaves have silvery white or cream variation, making this a decorative and popular house plant. Although it may be grown outdoors in some regions, the arrowhead plant is typically grown as a house plant.
As a house plant, it is typically grown for its attractive ornamental foliage which changes shape as the leaves mature. Juvenile leaves are ovate with heart-shaped bases and sometimes with silver variegation.

- Arrowhead plant care requires humid conditions, especially during dry winter months.
- Mist the plant daily or place its container on a tray filled with pebbles and water to increase humidity for optimal growth.
- Keep them away from direct sunlight, as this will cause the arrowhead plant to burn or bleach.

- Even within a contained environment, because of the arrowhead plant root structure, the plant should be repotted every second spring.
