Arrowhead Plant (Syngonium podophyllum)

Available in two sizes, suitable for nano to large tanks.

Enhance your aquarium naturally with the versatile Arrowhead Plant. Its vibrant leaves create a lush tropical display above the aquarium, while the roots grow directly into the water below.

As the plant grows, it actively absorbs nitrates and excess nutrients from the aquarium water, helping to improve water quality and support a healthier aquatic environment.

Why I love this plant: It has beautiful tropical foliage, plus the root system creates a natural underwater habitat where shrimp, fry, and small fish can hide, forage, and explore.
