With its uncommon milky-white and pink foliage, the Milk Confetti Arrowhead Plant (Syngonium podophyllum, also called an Arrowhead Vine, African Evergreen, American Evergreen, Goosefoot) is a must-have for any plant collector. The matte-white, arrow-shaped leaves are splashed with blush flecks, cascading from semi-sturdy vines. Kept in bright indirect light, these fast-growing trailing plants can be attached to a trellis or allowed to hang freely. Completing this adorable package is the fact that Arrowheads are easy to care for, making them great plants for new plant parents who are looking to add something special to their home.
Best Locations For Growing Milk Confetti Arrowhead Plant
With its light color, the Milk Confetti Arrowhead will do best in bright, indirect light. Syngoniums appreciate a bit of extra humidity, so this plant will do well in a bright bathroom or kitchen. The Milk Confetti Arrowhead is a stunner, standing out on its own or adding a pop of color to a group of plants. Syngoniums are toxic plants, so care should be taken when placing the Milk Confetti Arrowhead in a home with children and pets.
Milk Confetti Arrowhead Plant Sunlight Requirements
Variegated and non-green plants tend to need bright light because their ability to photosynthesize (turn sunlight into energy and food) is limited. For this reason, place the Milk Confetti Arrowhead in a spot where it can get all-day bright, indirect light, such as an east-facing window or slightly away from a west- or south-facing window, protected from harsh afternoon sunlight. When in a lower light spot, supplemental light may be needed to keep this plant happy and healthy.
Milk Confetti Arrowhead Plant Care
Like other Syngoniums, Milk Confetti is fast growing and trailing, requiring little maintenance when provided with plenty of bright light and watered regularly. This plant can remain in the same pot for a couple years at a time. When repotting, choose a pot with drainage holes that is an inch or two larger than the previous pot. Syngoniums do best when grown in loose, airy soil that drains well.
Watering Milk Confetti Arrowhead Plant
Allow the top two inches of soil to dry out before watering the Milk Confetti Arrowhead Plant deeply, until water flows out the bottom of the pot. The frequency of watering will depend on lighting, temperature, and humidity. This plant will generally need water about once a week or two in the summer, and even less frequently in the winter.
Feeding Milk Confetti Arrowhead Plant
The Milk Confetti Arrowhead Plant benefits from regular fertilizing in the spring and summer, when the plant is growing the most. One to two times a month, dilute liquid houseplant fertilizer into water, taking care to follow dilution recommendations to avoid damaging the plant’s roots. Too much fertilizer can often do more damage than no fertilizer at all. Fertilizing in the winter is unnecessary as plants are not growing as actively.

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.
