ðą How to Care for Arrowhead Vines to Prevent Botrytis?
ð§ How to Water
Water when the top inch of soil feels dry â approximately every 7 days in summer, every 10-14 days in winter. Avoid waterlogging; overwatering is the leading cause of root rot. Never let the pot sit in standing water.
âïļ Lighting
Prefers bright to medium indirect light. Tolerates lower light but variegated cultivars may revert to green under insufficient light. Avoid direct sunlight, which scorches the leaves. An east- or west-facing window is ideal.
ðŠī Ideal Soil
Use a well-draining aroid mix: equal parts potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark. Target pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Avoid dense, moisture-retaining soils that promote root rot.
