syngonium
ARROWHEAD PLANT
Syngonium are another plant that does very well in the New Mexico desert. They come in many different colors, ranging from green to white, to almost black.
They begin as small, compact plants, growing aerial roots as they mature. In the wild, they tend to climb trees, but at home there are more options. They can climb, or they can trail, making them good for hanging baskets but also just as good for a shelf or shaded windowsill.
