How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water well and then allow the top 50% of the soil dry out before watering again. An arrowhead plant droops when it needs water, but perks up quickly once watered ; when over- watered, these plants develop root rot and die.
Pruning
Keep the long runners and growth tips pruned and you can use them on tables or stand them on the floor. When left untrimmed, indoor arrowhead plants make beautiful hanging plants.
Fertilizer
Fertilize every two weeks in the spring and summer when an arrowhead plant is actively growing with a balanced, liquid plant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength. Feed monthly in the fall and winter.
