This may not be a popular choice but division can be a good solution if you are repotting the plant.

  • Take out the entire plant from the pot and carefully remove the excess soil from the rootball.
  • Look for clumps, and using a sterilized knife, divide them into small sections in a way where each one gets a bit of root attached to it.
  • That’s it! Now plant these clumps into individual pots in well-draining soil, water well, and keep in bright but indirect sunlight.

  • Arrowhead plants love bright but indirect sunlight. Keeping them in the mild morning sun for 2-3 hours will be greatly beneficial.
  • You can keep the plants in the bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room as these places are more humid. You can also use pebble trays or install a humidifier.
  • Add orchid bark, sphagnum moss, and potting soil in equal parts for best growth.
  • Let the soil dry out a bit before you water the plants again.
  • Use a balanced liquid fertilizer, diluted to 1/2 of its strength, once in 6-8 weeks.
