Rosie | Strawberry Arrowhead Plant

• Meet Rosie, the conservatory’s resident sweetheart, with just enough ambition to outgrow her little corner. Her arrow-shaped leaves wear shades of strawberry pink, blush, and soft green, bringing a gentle wash of color to your shelves and windowside tables. Young Rosie grows into a leafy little mound; with time, her stems may begin to trail or climb.

• Give her bright, indirect light, a warm place to settle, and a drink when the top inch of soil feels dry. A little trimming keeps her full and tidy, although she’s perfectly willing to let her hair down.

  “I’m naturally rosy, dear. But a lovely window certainly helps.”

  Rosie is a Syngonium podophyllum ‘Strawberry’, grown for her colorful foliage. Leaf color and markings naturally vary from plant to plant.
