About Heart-Leaf Philodendron

History

The Heartleaf Philodendron was brought from the West Indies to Kew Gardens in 1793, by Captain William Bligh (the same captain from the Mutiny on the Bounty). After it was discovered that the philodendron was easy to keep and propagate, it became a popular and mass-market plant.

Cultivation

In the wild, Philodendron scandens climb up tree trunks and other plants. While young, their leaves have a pointy brown tip, as they mature turns into a lush deep green colour.

Care

Philodendrons will thrive in warm, humid and bright conditions, although they can cope in a wide range of light conditions, including the light shade. They are relatively drought-tolerant, and it is best to water them when the top few cms of soil have dried out and less so in winter.

Did you know?

The name Philodendron is derived from the Greek words 'Philo', which means love and 'dendron', which means tree. We couldn't agree more.

Toxicity

If ingested this plant can be toxic or poisonous so keep away from dogs, cats or other pets and small children.
