Philodendron ‘Heart Leaf Green’

Description:
Philodendron 'Heart Leaf Green' is a classic, low-maintenance houseplant known for its elegant, trailing vines and vibrant green, heart-shaped leaves. This fast-growing plant is perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a climbing vine with proper support. Its adaptability to a wide range of indoor conditions makes it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. With the right care, this resilient plant will thrive and add a lush, tropical feel to any space.

Watering:
Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains out to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency in cooler months when growth slows. Philodendrons are forgiving if you occasionally forget to water, making them an easy-care option.

Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (Spring and Summer). A diluted fertilizer application will support steady growth without overwhelming the plant. Reduce feeding in Fall and Winter when growth naturally slows.

Lighting:
Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. However, in low light, growth may slow, and the leaves may become smaller. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the foliage. If growing in dim areas, consider using a grow light to encourage healthy growth.

Temperature:
Prefers temperatures between 65-85°F (18-29°C). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C), as exposure to cold can stunt growth and cause leaf damage.

Humidity:
Enjoys moderate to high humidity but can adapt to average household humidity levels. For optimal growth, mist occasionally, place near a humidity tray, or use a humidifier if the air is particularly dry.
