While it can tolerate some full sun exposure, providing protection during the hottest part of the day is recommended to prevent scorching. A unique characteristic of the Arrowhead Plant is its leaves: they appear plump when well-watered and become noticeably thinner when the plant is thirsty, providing a clear visual cue for its watering needs, making care straightforward for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.

For optimal growth, the Arrowhead Plant prefers summer temperatures around 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit.

As a succulent, it is crucial to avoid overwatering; ensure the plant never sits in standing water. Water thoroughly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. During the active growing season in spring and summer, fertilize your Arrowhead Plant monthly with an all-purpose liquid houseplant food diluted to half strength. When repotting, use a porous potting soil with added coarse sand to ensure adequate drainage, promoting healthy root development.
