The 'Red Arrow' is a cultivar of the popular Arrowhead Vine or Goosefoot Plant. It is an evergreen climbing vine from the Araceae family, often grown as a compact, bushy houseplant. This plant is native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America.
The standout feature of the 'Red Arrow' is its dramatic, velvety-textured, arrow-shaped foliage. The mature leaves are typically dark green on the top surface and a rich, striking burgundy-red or deep pink on the underside, giving it the "Red Arrow" nickname. This vibrant under-leaf coloration provides a bold contrast and a unique touch of color for an indoor space.
This tropical houseplant is fast-growing during the spring and summer growing season, often producing long, vining stems that can be pruned to maintain a bushier shape or trained to climb.
