Philodendron hederaceum, commonly referred to as Philodendron scandens or the Heartleaf Philodendron, is one of the most classic and easy-to-grow tropical houseplants. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, this graceful climbing aroid from the Araceae family is beloved for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves and forgiving care requirements.

The foliage is a rich, deep green with a soft sheen, growing along slender, trailing or climbing stems. Its naturally cascading habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets, high shelves, or trained up moss poles and trellises. When mature and supported vertically, Philodendron scandens can produce larger, more elongated leaves, giving it a dramatic, jungle-like appeal.

This plant is ideal for beginners and experienced growers alike, adding instant tropical charm and lush greenery to any indoor space.


Philodendron hederaceum (scandens) – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light but is highly adaptable and can tolerate medium to low-light conditions. Too little light may slow growth and reduce leaf size. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing excess water to drain away. Avoid letting the plant sit in water or remain completely dry for long periods. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth, 18–28°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.

  • Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity but thrives in higher levels (50–70%). Mist occasionally or group with other plants for a humidity boost.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix – peat-free compost combined with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works well. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and give roots more space.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Stop feeding during autumn and winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim vines as needed to control length and encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cuttings can be easily propagated in water or soil, making it simple to expand your collection or share with friends.

Growth and Maturity

A fast-growing, trailing or climbing plant that can reach 1–2 metres indoors. Its flexible vines and glossy foliage make it perfect for a variety of displays — from cascading arrangements to trained climbing specimens.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Leggy growth: Low light or lack of pruning.

  • Brown leaf tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips, spider mites, or mealybugs.

Background and Benefits

Philodendron scandens is one of the most popular tropical houseplants for good reason — it’s hardy, fast-growing, and incredibly versatile. Its name “Philodendron” comes from the Greek words philo (love) and dendron (tree), a nod to its climbing nature. In addition to its beauty, it’s also known to improve indoor air quality by filtering toxins, making it both decorative and functional.

  • Water: Lightly moist; allow topsoil to dry slightly

  • Temperature: 18–28°C; avoid below 15°C

  • Humidity: Average to high (50–70%)

  • Soil: Chunky, free-draining aroid mix

⚠️ Toxicity Note: Like all Philodendrons, Philodendron scandens is toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.


🌿 Styling Tip:
Let your Philodendron scandens trail from a hanging planter for a cascading effect, or train it vertically on a moss pole to create a lush, upright statement piece. Its versatility and deep green colour make it a timeless houseplant for any décor style.

Great Toy
Size: One Size, Style: Stick
I breed German shepherds. This toy is a soft formed stick made of a memory foam/ rubber polymer. It’s light weight, very durable, floats and my German Shepherds love retrieving this toy. They are not indestructible but they are a great chewing toy for their price. I usually buy several at a time. This toy will help clean their teeth and is soft enough not to damage their teeth. It’s a favorite item for my dogs.

SPECTACULAR dog chew toy!
Size: One Size, Style: Ball
If you look at my profile, you will see that I have bought and reviewed a LOT of dog toys! My boxer is an "aggressive" chewer and we go through dog toys quickly in my house. This has been one of my very favorite chew toys that I have ever purchased. This company sells quite a few of these chew toys in different shapes. This ball is made from a very light foam rubber (I think) material. When I showed it to my husband, he said "that won't last 5 minutes" and I had my doubts too. However, this ball has proven to be EXTREMELY durable! Because it is made from the foam material, it has a lot of tooth sized holes in it after she chews it, but she has been unable to chew the toy apart. I bought another of these chew toys made from the same material in a different shape thinking surely there was some accident that the toy had held up for so long. Nope, the new toy has held up just as well! The toys float in water and are very light and easy to throw. Overall, I will be buying more of these toys and would recommend this product!

Didn't last one day.
Size: Large, Style: Duck Slingshot, Size: Large, Style: Duck Slingshot
Didn't last even an hour. This damage wasn't from the dog either, it looks like it let loose from the stress of just trying to launch it! It doesn't fly near as far as the discontinued Pig Slingshot toy. Bring back the pig, please. I also ordered the other listed Hyper Pet flying fowl, and it flew the same distance as this one, and has lasted through the day (but needs to be heavier). But for this one, perhaps they needed to double stitch the area under the 'chin'? I'll try to return it. It looks like it should be more durable, but at least that part isn't. Second one: I chose the replacement, instead of a refund because my dog loves me shooting the toys into the yard. He saw the new duck, and was excited. Six shots in and the seam on the bottom of the head was already separating. By 10 or so times, it was getting concerning as the seams were opening enough I was concerned that it would lose its filling. I'm disappointed, and so is my dog. Just in case anyone is wondering, I never let him alone with this, and still feel, even more so, that the failure is the stitching on the bottom of the head, right at the point where the most stresses of launching it are focused. I'd strongly recommend that Hyper Pet use two layers of full canvas over that area, and also Bring Back The Slingshot Pig, PLEASE... The second picture is the second Duck, and my 7 month old. He wasn't ready to end the session. The problem, for us, is that the 'dog run' isn't very long, and all of the other toys I have are bazooka style launching devices that I can't use yet as they would fly far over the fence. Ironically one is from Hyper Pet, and is amazing. Works so well. Too well?

Not for labrador chewing.
Size: One Size, Style: Stick, Size: One Size, Style: Stick
Not recommended for a Labrador if they enjoy retrieving then chewing, because the stick will only last 20-30mins. The stick does float, and is hollow which is good when it’s been bitten down to ball size.

Great toy except the stitching
Size: Large, Style: Duck Slingshot, Size: Large, Style: Duck Slingshot
Excellent toy. My Lab immediately loved it and I used it to get her to swim for the first time! However, after just one use, the stitching started coming apart under the head. I wish it had been more durable, my dog loves it.
