White Butterfly Arrowhead Plant Care

Use a potting mix that is rich in organic matter and provides excellent drainage and natural aeration. Always plant in a pot with good drainage holes. Dust or wipe off White Butterfly Arrowhead leaves with a damp cloth for the best display and healthy leaves. Provide moderate room temperatures, ideally between 64-70 degrees F, and high humidity to prevent brown spots on the leaf tips. It will begin losing leaves if kept in cool temperatures. Typically White Butterfly requires repotting every other year. 

Watering White Butterfly Arrowhead Plant

White Butterfly Arrowhead Plant grows best during the spring and summer months in evenly moist soils. Water it using room temperature water. During winter, scale back to allow for the soil to dry out a little more in between waterings, but continue to provide humidity. Avoid getting the foliage wet. 

Feeding White Butterfly Arrowhead Plant

Use a balanced liquid houseplant food at half the manufacturer’s recommended strength every month during the spring and summer growing months. The dilution is necessary to prevent root burn. You do not need to fertilize during the winter resting months.
