Identifying a Mystery Plant with Arrowhead-Shaped Leaves

Need a Photo for ID

Your schematic is creative but insufficient. The description—long, skinny green leaves with arrowhead-like nodules pointing backward—suggests several possibilities:

  • Syngonium (Arrowhead Vine): Juvenile leaves are arrow-shaped; mature leaves become lobed.
  • Philodendron species: Some have similar nodal swellings.
  • Epipremnum (Pothos) variants.

What to Send

Email clear photos to wcreed@HorticulturalHelp.com:

  1. Whole plant in its pot.
  2. Close-up of leaf top and underside.
  3. Stem and nodal area showing the "arrowheads."
  4. Pot and soil surface.

While You Wait

  • Stop fertilizing.
  • Water only when top inch of soil is dry.
  • Provide bright indirect light (no direct sun).
  • Do not repot.

Once identified, I'll give specific care to stop the leaf browning and drop.
