Philodendron hederaceum Variegata

The species Philodendron hederaceum is native to areas of Central America and the Caribbean Islands, where it grows as a vine that can climb more than 20 feet with leaves that can get more than 12 inches across. While we’re not sure when this variegated form came about, we love its style.

This houseplant thrives in bright light (but tolerates medium light), so for the happiest plant, give it a spot about 3 feet away from a good-sized east or west window. Don't have bright light? Your Variegated Heartleaf Philodendron will still grow, but will be slower and the variegation may seem less showy. Water it as the top quarter to half of the potting mix dries out before giving it its next drink of water. Average room temperatures and humidity are perfectly fine for this low-maintenance climber, so you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

Note: This plant may have some natural degree of toxicity and may cause discomfort or illness if ingested. Additionally, exposure to the sap of this plant may cause discomfort to individuals with a sensitivity to it upon contact. Grown for ornamental purposes and not intended for human or animal consumption.
