The Heart Leaf Philodendron gets its name from its irresistible heart-shaped foliage, which can trail to lengths nearing 10 feet when grown in proper conditions! Ideal growing conditions for this trailing tropical houseplant include bright indirect light and a chunky, well-draining soil medium.
If you don't have proper growing conditions or a green thumb, don't count yourself quite yet! This Philodendron is incredibly hearty and the perfect beginner-friendly houseplant. Once established, the Cordatum is readily adaptable and can also handle conditions of moderate to low light.
We recommend watering your heart-leaf plant about once every two weeks for the best results.

What is the best light for Heart Leaf Philodendron Plants?
Heart Leaf Philodendron thrive in the low light conditions indoors, living with just fluorescent light. They can handle some bright, indirect light too, but too much light will cause browning.
How often should I water Heart Leaf Philodendron Plants?
Heart Leaf Philodendron Plants do like to dry out between watering. These plants do not like to stay wet or sit in water. Plants that are watered too often will not survive. If unsure, do not water. Philodendron can go weeks before being watered again.
How do I fertilize Heart Leaf Philodendron Plants?
Any all purpose, foliage fertilizer will work for Heart Leaf Philodendron. Indoor houseplant fertilizers fall into two groups: water soluble, liquid quick release, and granular, slow release fertilizers. Jack's Classic Indoor plant food works well as a powder, quick release fertilizer that is mixed with water to quickly provide nutrients to a plant that has been in a container for an extended time.
What is the best soil for Heart Leaf Philodendron Plants?
Heart Leaf Philodendron Plants prefer a very well draining soil, and prefer to have dry conditions. Regular potting mix with sand mixed in works well for plants potted in containers, otherwise a cactus potting mix would work. The cactus potting mix already has sand and other ingredients to encourage drainage.
