Heartleaf Philodendron

Philodendron Scandens Oxycardium

The Philodendron is an evergreen perennial vine that has the reputation of being one of the easiest houseplants. Known for its heart-shaped leaves and trailing vines, this Philodendron particularly fits indoor settings because it can filter gaseous toxins from the air. Hailing from the Caribbean, the soil surrounding the Philodendron scandens must be kept moist but not soggy. This plant won't make you guess if you're watering correctly, nor will it act melodramatically if you aren't. Yellow leaves mean you're showering too much liquid attention; brown leaves say, "Give me more!"
