The Philodendron Oxycardium is a variegated evergreen climber. Also called heart-lead Philodendron, it is very popular as an indoor houseplant, with its bright glossy leaves and twining stems being the plant’s signature appeal. Flowers, too, may appear (although rarely) on mature plants.
This easy-to-grow plant is native to Central America and the Caribbean. Therefore higher humidity ensures larger leaves.
Placement: Indoors near a south or west-facing window
When do Philodendron leaves split?
They split all year if the plant gets 1-3 hours of sunlight.
When to plant Philodendron cuttings?
Plant between February and April.
Do Philodendrons flower?
Yes, between April and July.
This variegated climber is a favourite of Green Vedam’s plant parent community for a reason – it is easy to maintain and gorgeous to look at!
