Heartleaf Philodendron

This tropical vine has been a favorite of homeowners for a century or more. Green heart shaped leaves clothe the scrambling stems and are tolerate of low light, low humidity and neglect. However, under ideal condition it really thrives; these include filtered light, high humidity, moisture retentive soils and periodic showers to reduce aphid, mealy bug and spider mite populations. Easy to root in a glass of water.
