Know before you buy
Yes, this plant is highly adaptable and thrives in low to medium indirect light. While it will grow faster in brighter spots, it remains healthy and vibrant even in dimmer corners of a home or office.
This plant prefers to dry out slightly between waterings. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water. Be careful not to let it sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot.
It is naturally vining, so it can be grown as a trailing plant in a hanging basket or on a shelf. If you prefer a climbing habit, you can provide a moss pole or trellis for the vines to attach to as they grow.
No, Philodendron Cordatum contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to curious pets.
The nursery pot is a standard plastic container meant for temporary housing or repotting. Our decorative options, such as the cylinders, natural fiber, and terra cotta, are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and ready for display immediately upon arrival.
