Green Heartleaf Philodendron

Philodendrons are fast-growing, easy plants.

Water your Philodendron when the top 50%-75% of the soil is dry. Water until liquid flows through the drainage hole at the bottom of the pot and discard any water that has accumulated in the saucer.

The Philodendron Heartleaf can cope with low light conditions, but grows faster and produces more leaves bright indirect light. Do not put it in direct sunlight–the sun will burn the foliage.

Philodendron leaves are toxic to pets and humans. Typically, ingestion will result in swelling of the lips and tongue, and stomach irritation with possible vomiting.

YELLOW, DROOPING LEAVES: The reason for a dying philodendron is because of over watering, under watering, cold temperatures or too much sun. Philodendron leaves turn yellow and droop due to saturated soil and turn brown because of under watering or sun burn. Temperatures cooler then 50°F can be the cause of a dying philodendron.

- Philodendron are topical plants that prefer hot and humid environments, ideally locate your philodendron in room with temperatures between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 30°C). Mist the leaves once or twice per week to create a humid micro-climate that replicates the conditions of the philodendrons native environment.

- Water the philodendron as often as required to keep the soil evenly moist. Add perlite to the potting mix to help improve drainage for the optimal balance of moisture.

- To save your philodendron locate the plant in bright indirect light, in moist yet well draining soil, in warm temperatures and mist the leaves regularly. The plant should show signs of recovery with new growth emerging in the active growing season of Spring and Summer.
