Nephthytis

No matter what type you select, the leaves of a Nephthytis (Arrowhead) plant always have a spade-like shape that resembles an “arrowhead”. The young, immature plant is short and bushy. However, as the plant matures and is not aggressively pruned, it produces long draping stems just as it does in nature. You can put the plant in a hanging basket or tie it to a trellis. If you want your arrowhead plant to be a large, full floor plant, cut back the long vines and keep pinching off the growing tips at the ends the stems. You can use the stem cuttings to propagate new plants.

How to care

Medium to bright indirect light

Keep the soil barely moist and drier in the winter

Propagate in the spring using stem cuttings

Keep the plant in a warm area above 60°
