Large arrow-head shaped foliage is randomly shaded in pink and green. The Arrowhead Plant is like a smaller more compact version of the vine-like philodendrons and is an easily grown indoor plant. Use the colorful foliage as a spiller in mixed containers, as a groundcover, in hanging baskets, or as a small vine on a 'totem' pole.
