Syngonium Pixie (Arrowhead Plant)

A compact, slow-growing miniature Syngonium with petite heart-shaped leaves — perfect for small spaces and shelves.

The Syngonium Pixie is a dwarf variety that stays delightfully small, making it ideal for terrariums, desktops and tight spots where other plants would outgrow their welcome. Despite its size it shares all the easy-going nature of the Arrowhead Plant family.

Care

• Light: Bright indirect light; tolerates medium light — avoid direct sun which burns leaves
• Water: Every 7–10 days in spring/summer; allow top 2–3 cm to dry out; reduce in winter
• Humidity: High (40%+); mist regularly or use a pebble tray
• Temperature: 15°C–29°C; avoid cold draughts
• Difficulty: Easy
• Pet friendly: No — toxic to cats and dogs

Care tips

• Use a well-draining, airy mix — standard potting soil with added perlite or bark. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.
• Being compact, it needs less frequent repotting — only when roots appear from drainage holes.
• Feed with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer monthly during spring and summer.
• ⚠️ Keep away from cats and dogs — Syngonium is toxic if ingested by pets.
