How to read these values
These care values are quick reference points for indoor growing. Use them as a guide, then adjust for pot size, substrate, temperature and how quickly the substrate dries.
For more detail, read the full product description or visit our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level and approximate lux at leaf level.
- Watering: “% dry” shows how far the substrate should dry before watering again.
- Substrate: structure, drainage, moisture retention, base material and particle size.
- Temperature: “Ideal” shows the preferred range; “Avoid below” marks the cold-stress threshold.
- Humidity: target range; steady conditions usually matter more than exact numbers.
- Growth habit: how the plant grows, such as upright, climbing, trailing, clumping or rosette-forming.
- Support: whether a stake, pole or trellis is needed, optional or unnecessary.
- Growth speed: expected pace under suitable indoor conditions; use as a guide, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term indoor size under good conditions.
- Toxicity & safety: irritation, toxicity or physical hazards such as spines or bristles.
- Origin & habitat: native range, hybrid background or typical habitat where relevant.
- Outdoor growing: when a potted indoor plant can be placed outside and what outdoor protection it needs.
Anthurium ‘Arrow’
Long, pointed leaves give Anthurium ‘Arrow’ a narrow, upright look above the pot. The foliage is deep green and arrowhead-shaped, with firm petioles rising from a compact base.
New leaves rise from the centre, so the plant keeps a compact, upright profile as it grows. Filtered light, careful watering and a breathable mix help maintain that shape indoors.
Key features of Anthurium ‘Arrow’
- Leaf outline: Long, pointed leaves with an arrowhead-like shape.
- Colour: Deep green foliage with a smooth, even surface.
- Plant shape: Upright clumping growth that stays tidy in a pot.
- Growth type: Self-heading Anthurium habit from a compact base.
- Root zone: Best grown in a loose mix that drains freely after watering.
- Leaf position: The narrow blades rise above the pot and need space to open cleanly.
How Anthurium ‘Arrow’ grows in a pot
Anthurium ‘Arrow’ grows from a compact base, sending leaves upward on firm petioles. The pointed blades should have enough room to open without pressing against glass, shelves or neighbouring pots.
The roots need light moisture and air around them. Heavy universal potting soil can hold too much water around the base, while a chunky mix lets excess water drain away after each watering.
Care for Anthurium ‘Arrow’
- Light: Give it bright indirect light. Soft morning or late-day light may be tolerated, but harsh direct sun can scorch exposed leaves.
- Water: Water when the upper part of the substrate has dried. The pot should drain freely after watering.
- Humidity: Normal to moderately raised indoor humidity is usually enough, though very dry air can brown leaf tips.
- Temperature: Keep it warm, ideally in stable indoor conditions without cold drafts.
- Substrate: Use a loose aroid mix with bark, coco chips, pumice or perlite to keep the root zone open.
- Pot choice: Choose a pot with drainage holes and avoid upsizing too far beyond the current root ball.
- Cleaning: Wipe dust gently from the leaves so the green surface stays clear and light can reach the blade.
Likely problems on Anthurium ‘Arrow’
- Yellow leaves: Often point to watering too often, poor drainage or a mix that remains wet deep in the pot.
- Brown tips: Can appear with dry air, irregular watering or mineral-heavy water.
- Long weak petioles: Usually mean the plant is reaching for more light.
- Soft base: Check the roots and lower stem area if the plant loosens in the pot or the mix smells sour.
- Pest marks: Look under the leaves for thrips, spider mites or mealybugs if pale streaks, speckling or sticky residue appears.
Safety for Anthurium ‘Arrow’
Anthurium ‘Arrow’ is not pet-safe if chewed or swallowed. Like other Anthuriums, it contains calcium oxalate crystals that can cause mouth irritation and digestive discomfort.
Name etymology and background
Anthurium combines the Greek anthos, flower, and oura, tail, a reference to the tail-like spadix typical of the genus. The cultivated name ‘Arrow’ refers to the plant’s long, narrow, arrowhead-shaped leaves and compact self-heading growth.
