What’s wrong with my arrowhead plant? Why is it so compacted  
And my propagation of it is also doing it.

It doesn't look like anythings wrong with it. My syngoniums are all compact like this and thriving

When it’s ready, it will start putting out “vining stems”. They look different from the rest of the plant. Is that what you were asking about?

They look normal to me. That’s how they operate. Don’t worry about it! Mine are doing the same, and so are my sister’s and my mother’s plants.
