# Brand new plant parent here. My arrowhead is growing these yellowish…

_Posted by Patricia on 2026-06-21_

Brand new plant parent here. My arrowhead is growing these yellowish leaves and I don’t know what the problem might be. I am following Planta’s watering schedule, making sure to drain excess water out of the pot, and otherwise being attentive about this plant. It lives on a wall by a west-facing window with bright indirect light. Is that coloring normal for this plant? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

She does look overwatered sometimes plantas schedules are off , I would check the roots for rotting

I ignored my syngonium far too often and it thrived!!! I’m pretty sure they like to dry out in between waterings.

What is that plant stand?

It’s a wall stand from IKEA. They have one for 2 plants and a longer one for 3 plants. It’s really nice!
