Is it possible Syngonium Arrowhead Plant Growing in Water?

In this article, I’ll take you through my personal journey of transforming a struggling Syngonium plant into a vibrant and lush hydroponic beauty. I’ll share the steps I took to revive the plant, the care it requires, propagation methods, ideal conditions, and more. Whether you’re a seasoned plant enthusiast or just starting your green journey, this guide will help you successfully cultivate and maintain a Syngonium Arrowhead plant in water.

A Troubled Start

I’ve had my Syngonium Arrowhead plant for around six years, but it faced a rocky beginning. Despite owning it for such a long time, the plant struggled to thrive in soil for four years. While my other Arrowhead plants were flourishing, I couldn’t figure out why this one was struggling. Determined to find a solution, I decided to give it one last chance by transitioning it to a water-based environment.

Reviving the Plant in Water

Two years ago, I took the leap and moved my struggling plant into water. Here’s what I did:

  1. I removed the soil from the roots.
  2. I cleaned and trimmed any rotten roots.
  3. I placed the plant in a glass vase with filtered water.
  4. I positioned it in a low-light space.

In just two weeks, I was amazed by the transformation. The leaves became full, upright, and more vivid. A new leaf even sprouted within a week. This success encouraged me to find a better spot for my rejuvenated Syngonium Arrowhead plant.

Supporting Growth as a Vine

As time passed, my plant grew rapidly and outgrew its vase. To support its vertical growth, I attached tape to the wall and guided the plant to grow as a vine. This creative solution allowed my Syngonium to flourish in its new water-based habitat.

Propagation for a Bushier Look

For a bushier appearance, I considered propagating my Arrowhead plant. Here’s how:

  1. I took cuttings just below a node for proper root development.
  2. I learned that cutting the leaves alone wouldn’t lead to successful rooting.
  3. Trimming the plant’s base encouraged new growth, resulting in a fuller appearance.

Optimal Conditions for Growth

Syngonium Arrowhead plants thrive under specific conditions:

  1. They prefer bright, indirect light for vibrant leaves.
  2. They tolerate low light but avoid direct sunlight.
  3. Filtered light for a few hours daily promotes growth.

Maintenance and Care

To ensure my plant’s well-being:

  1. I change water every 4-6 months to prevent algae buildup.
  2. I clean roots gently during water changes.
  3. I use filtered or distilled water to keep the vase full.
  4. I add a small amount of fertilizer during the growing period.

Humidity Matters

Syngonium Arrowhead plants require moderate to high humidity:

  1. They thrive in water as it naturally maintains humidity through evaporation.
  2. Their roots contribute to a humid environment around the plant.
  3. Terrariums can control humidity levels but require proper ventilation.
