I found this plant growing by a tree on my walk. Does anyone know what it is? Planta says arrowhead, FYI it was in the wild. I didn't steal it from someone!

its a syngonium(arrowhead plant)

It’s likely a white butterfly syngonium. Some of mine left the hanging basket two decades ago. It’s growing around and growing on my concrete patio using pine needles as soil. They have survived every storm including winter freezing weather. The one in the pic is behind the shed.

I was so shocked when I saw it, I just had to grab it. So glad to hear they are hearty plants.

Is it in the philodendron family? Only cuz of the leaf shape... 🍃 I'm really bad 👎 at these Reindeer games. Just please feed those roots. 😊😉
