About this plant
Pink Princess Philodendron Care Guide: Light, Water and Variegation
Care notes by Nick AlanDeep burgundy-green leaves with glossy red new growth. The philodendron 'Red Heart' is an easy, forgiving houseplant with heart-shaped leaves that look rich and moody in a bright room. New leaves unfurl in glossy red before deepening, so the plant keeps changing as it grows. Below is red heart philodendron care in plain terms.
Why you'll like it
It brings a deep, dramatic color to a collection of green plants without being fussy. It adapts to ordinary room conditions, and it gets more impressive as it grows and puts out new red leaves.
What you get
A live philodendron 'Red Heart' in a 4" grower's nursery pot.
. Use a well-draining mix and keep it out of harsh direct sun.Is philodendron Red Heart a climber?
Yes. It grows as a climber, so a moss pole or other support helps it grow upright and produce larger leaves, but it will also grow without one.
Do heartleaf philodendrons climb or hang?
Both. They trail from a hanging pot or shelf, or climb a pole or trellis when given support.
Why are the leaves on my philodendron turning yellow?
Yellow leaves most often mean overwatering or soil that stays wet. Let the top inch dry between waterings and make sure the pot drains well.
