Philodendron(‘’loving’ in Greek) scandens is known as the Sweetheart Plant probably because of its big heart-shaped leaves. If you’ve struggled growing houseplants in the past, heartleaf philodendron is a pretty easy plant to take care of, as long as you give it the right light and water.
Blozem Hints 🍀
🍀You grow, girl! Increase the bushiness of this plant by pinching out after a leaf node on single stems.
🍀This will promote off shoots and more branches, meaning more leaves.
🍀Listen to the leaves! This plant will tell you when it is receiving too much or too little water. Too much and the leaves will yellow and drop, too little and they will brown and shrivel.
🍀Location, Location, Location! These plants will thrive in almost all levels of humidity, however placing them in high humidity environments will encourage larger leaves.
Light
The Sweetheart Plant is versatile. Best in medium light but can tolerate bright light and some degree of shade. Avoid direct sunlight however, as this may scorch the plant.
Watering
Keep the soil moist at all times. Allow the top of the soil to dry-out slightly before re-watering. Will tolerate some degree of drought better than having its roots too wet.
Humidity
The Sweetheart Plant will do fine in normal home humidity, but thrives in more humid environments.
Consider giving your Philodendron scandens an occasional misting for best results.
Feed
Apply a weak solution of liquid fertiliser two orthree times during the growing season.

Filters airborne toxins such as such as trichloroethylene and benzene from the atmosphere and are part of our clean air plant collection.
