Philodendron Cordatum 'Heart Leaf' Care Guide

Lighting Conditions

This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, so be sure to place it in a spot with filtered light for best results.

Watering Requirements

Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Avoid overwatering as the plant is sensitive to root rot. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to maintain healthy roots.

Temperature and Humidity Needs

The Heart Leaf Philodendron prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). While it can adapt to average home humidity, it thrives in more humid environments, so occasional misting or a humidifier can benefit it.

Fertilizing and Growth

Feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows down.

Repotting and Maintenance

Repot your Heart Leaf Philodendron every 1-2 years to refresh the soil and provide enough space for healthy growth. Prune any overgrown vines or dead leaves to maintain its appearance and encourage bushier growth.

Decorating with the Philodendron Cordatum 'Heart Leaf'

The Heart Leaf Philodendron’s elegant, trailing vines and lush green leaves make it perfect for adding a cascading effect to your indoor space. Place it on a shelf, in a hanging planter, or allow it to trail down from a bookshelf for a stylish, natural touch.
