Syngonium podophyllum 'Pixie'

Dwarf Arrowhead Vine, Pixie Arrowhead Plant, Nana Arrowhead Vine

Easy careSemi-epiphyteModerately toxic15–30 cm

A compact, slow-growing cultivar of the arrowhead vine bred for terrariums and small indoor spaces. Unlike the parent species, 'Pixie' stays in its juvenile arrowhead leaf form permanently, forming a neat bushy clump rather than a vining climber. Its green leaves with a bright white midrib add contrast without taking over. Manageable size and forgiving care make it one of the more practical Syngonium choices for closed terrariums. All parts are toxic due to calcium oxalate crystals.
