The Merry Arrowhead Plant, also known as Syngonium ‘Merry’ and ‘Merry Maria’, is a richly colored vining plant that is native to Central and South America. This plant is grown for its attractive foliage. It has thin, heart-shaped leaves that range in color from dark green to blush red. The Merry Arrowhead plant is a great low-maintenance option for your home or office. They tolerate low light and periods of dryness.
Best Locations For Growing Merry Arrowhead Plant
This is an ideal plant for growing in medium to bright indirect light. Place this plant near an east- or west-facing window, or a few feet away from a southern window.
Merry Arrowhead Plant Sunlight Requirements
Bright, indirect sunlight is recommended for the Merry Arrowhead Plant. Direct sunlight will scorch the plant’s thin leaves, causing them to brown.
Merry Arrowhead Plant Care
Rich, well-draining potting soil with added perlite is perfect for growing this plant. Arrowhead vines are very forgiving, and are able to tolerate low-light and low-water conditions for brief periods of time. To maintain the rich blush coloration, place this plant in bright indirect sunlight. The Merry Arrowhead Plant is an excellent choice for beginners as it’s easy to care for and is fast growing. Note that arrowhead plants are poisonous when ingested, so keep this plant up away from pets and small children.
Watering Merry Arrowhead Plant
Water this plant when the top two inches of soil are dry, or about every 2 weeks.
Feeding Merry Arrowhead Plant
Arrowhead vines should be fertilized only once per month. During the growing season, fertilize with an all-purpose fertilizer diluted to one-quarter of the manufacturer’s recommended dosage.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
