Arrowhead Vine (White Butterfly) New Growth Stays Pink and Shrivels

Light and Water Deficits

Pink, stunted new leaves indicate insufficient light. Arrowhead vines (Syngonium) need bright light—move to a sunnier spot. They also prefer consistently moist soil (naturally grow near swamps), so increase watering.

Repotting Hurt, Not Helped

Never repot a struggling plant. It adds stress and moisture-retentive soil. Return to original pot if possible.

Minimum Light Test

If your hand casts no shadow in the plant's location, it's too dark for any plant to survive.
