Propagating Arrowhead Vine (Syngonium): Node Submersion Is Key

An arrowhead vine cutting in water for a month has no roots. Owner asks for propagation method.

Identification and Technique

Likely Syngonium. Cutting must have at least one node (bump where leaf attaches) constantly submerged. Roots take 1–3 months. Change water weekly. Causes of failure: non-viable cutting, node drying out, poor light.
