I got this new plant today and don’t know what it is! My guess is an arrowhead plant or syngonium podophyllum. Any help? Also, is it sick? It’s looking pretty sickly to me.

Pretty sure you’re right that looks like a syngonium!! She doesn’t look unhealthy to me :)

Maybe spray her down with neem oil just in case there are any pests

#### Botanist Brody replied on 2023-07-08

Ok! I sadly do have neem oil but I do have a leaf cleaning spray that I’ll use!

Yep! I have a syngonium podophyllum, and it’s mostly that pinkish color. I looked it up and that’s the color it’s supposed to be

### J commented on 2023-07-13

Also, syngonium apparently climb, so I put a rod in the pot and will be guiding mine once it grows a bit more
