Heart Leaf Philodendron (Philodendron cordatum)
Good old Philodendron cordatum is one of the easiest houseplants to care for making it a great beginners aroid. They have, believe it or not, been in cultivation since the Victorian times. It is native to southeastern Brazil and Argentina and gets its common name from the beautiful medium/large heart shaped leaves it produces.
Watering
Wait until the top 2-3cm centimetres of soil in the pot has dried out before watering heavily.
Position
Bright indirect light and a humid position is great for these guys. That said, they are pretty tolerant of lower light but they will produce smaller leaves.
Managing growth
Currently about 20 to 30cm tall but each trailing stem will easily get up to a metre, probably in one growing season. When they get a bit big just give them a prune and you'll end up with a much bushier plant!
Greeting your Heart Leaf Philodendron
These plants are shipped in a 1.5L nursery pot that is wrapped in a calico bag to keep the soil in during transport. They will fit any pot from our Classic Pot Range.

Our special eco packaging
No Plant Stress
Our plant packaging is designed by people know how to keep plants fresh and healthy in transit. Your plants will enjoy a comfortable trip directly from our greenhouse to your door in just a few of days. Your plant will not have to deal with the stress of being bare rooted for transport (how most plants are sent) and you won’t have to deal with the mess and fuss of potting up your new plant when you receive it.
Stability Support
The plastic pot will be wrapped in a calico bag to keep the soil in place, it will then be tied into a specially designed cardboard insert which will keep it stable and upright throughout its journey. The insert will be glued in place on top of your cardboard wrapped ceramic pot to hold it down and your plant up!
No Re-Potting
Your plant will come in its plastic pot which we make sure fits perfectly in whichever ceramic pot you choose. Our packaging has been designed to allow us to send your beautiful ceramic pot along with your plant, fully potted, yep in soil, together in the same box.
Fully Recyclable
