Heartleaf Philodendron
£6.50
Soft heart-shaped leaves on trailing stems: the heartleaf philodendron is a gentle, easy houseplant for mantels, bookshelves and hanging planters.
Soft leaves that trail or climb with a little support. Medium light, water when the top feels dry, and it settles into family life without fuss.
An easy houseplant for real homes
- Where it lives. Happiest on a bookshelf, mantel or hanging planter.
- Light. Medium, indirect light.
- Water. When the top of the compost feels dry. Tip away any water left in the saucer.
- Around the family. Best placed where nibbling pets and small children can’t reach the leaves.
Your questions answered
Is this a good houseplant for beginners?
Yes. It’s one of the more forgiving indoor plants we stock, and a gentle place to start if you’re new to growing in a flat.
What size should I choose?
Smaller pots suit windowsills, desks and shelves. Larger sizes make more of a statement on the floor or beside furniture. Sizes available: 6cm pot / about 15cm tall, 12cm pot / about 20cm tall, 14cm pot / about 45cm tall.
Do I need a grow light?
Not usually, if you can offer the light described above. In a very dark flat, a simple white plant light on a shelf can help through midwinter.
