Thalia geniculata aka Arrowroot

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Arrowroot is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

Arrowroot should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Arrowroot is very sensitive to dry soil. To ensure your Fire Flag is thriving and blooming, choose a potting soil that retains moisture. A good soil should still allow for adequate drainage and contain lots of organic matter. Coco coir or sphagnum moss are great soil additives that will help to retain moisture and provide your Alligator Flag with the nutrients it needs for healthy growth. Make sure to mix these soil additives into the potting soil before planting and water the soil thoroughly. By providing your Arrowroot with a well-draining, moisture-retaining soil, you can help to maximize its growth and keep it blooming.

To ensure optimal growth, the Arrowroot prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Ploi lacks confirmed information on the toxicity of this plant. If you, a relative, or your pet accidentally consume plant material with unknown toxicity, it's best to consult a medical expert.

New growth will sprout from the top of the Arrowroot as it grows vertically.
