Philodendron Cordatum Heartleaf

Philodendron Cordatum Heartleaf is the classic trailing Philodendron — the one that has been in homes for generations for good reason. Its glossy, heart-shaped leaves grow quickly along trailing or climbing vines, draping beautifully from shelves and hanging planters. It is one of the most adaptable and easygoing houseplants available and is frequently recommended as the perfect first Philodendron for new plant owners.

Good for beginners? Absolutely. Heartleaf Philodendron is one of the most forgiving houseplants you can own. It tolerates low light, inconsistent watering, and most home conditions without complaint.

Safe for cats and dogs? Philodendrons are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs, or explore our pet-safe plant collection.

Light needs: Low to medium indirect light is where it thrives. It tolerates low-light rooms better than most plants. Brighter indirect light encourages faster growth and larger leaves. Avoid direct sun.

Care at a glance: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Provide a trellis or moss pole if you want it to climb and produce larger leaves. Trim regularly to keep vines full and bushy.
