About This Botanical
The Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum), shipped in 4" and 6" nursery pots, is a timeless vining classic admired for its sweetheart-shaped emerald leaves. Fast-growing and forgiving, it trails gracefully down bookshelves or climbs upward on plant stakes.
How to Care for Heartleaf Philodendron: Adapts easily from low to bright indirect light, making it versatile for any room. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. When repotting into a larger container, choose a loose, peat-perlite houseplant potting soil with good moisture retention and drainage.
Identification: Unlike pothos, Heartleaf Philodendron features thinner, smoother leaves and distinctive papery cataphylls where new leaves emerge.
Pet Safety: Toxic to cats and dogs due to insoluble calcium oxalate crystals.
