About this plant

'Merry' has arrow-shaped leaves in green flushed with red and pink, with the warmest color on the newest growth. It forms a full, leafy mound when young and begins to climb or trail with age.

It tolerates lower light, although bright indirect light gives the richest color. Keep the soil lightly moist and water when the top inch has dried. Pinch back long stems to keep it compact, or give it a small pole and let it climb.

Choose a 3, 4 or 6 inch pot. It is an easy, colorful plant for desks, shelves and anyone who wants something warmer than plain green.

The ASPCA lists the arrowhead plant (Syngonium podophyllum) as toxic to cats and dogs, so keep it out of reach of cats and dogs.

From November to April, we recommend adding Winter Plant Shipping Protection (a heat pack) at checkout. Plants shipped in cold weather without it are not covered for cold damage.
