Heartleaf Philodendron

Philodendron scandens

Description
This popular perennial is known for its easy growing conditions and glossy, heart-shaped foliage. Foliage emerges bronzes, but quickly turns green. Pinching close to the leaf nodes can be done to keep the plant bushy and full. Otherwise, this species can flow out of a hanging basket or training to climb up poles with aerial rooting.

Care Overview
Moderate light tolerance. Full sun to part shade. Fairly drought tolerant. Keep soil evenly moist spring through fall and reduce in winter. Avoid direct sunlight and maintain low to moderate humidity. Can trail up to 4ft.

Notes: This plant is toxic to pets and people if ingested.
