Variegated Heartleaf Philodendron
About Variegated Heartleaf Philodendron
Philodendrons grow aerial roots that grip the bark of trees, allowing them to grow over 20 feet tall! Their heart-shaped leaves change shape as they climb and can grow larger than a dinner plate. Fossils show Philodendrons growing as far back as 30 million years ago when South America was still connected to Antarctica! ❄️

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Variegated Heartleaf Philodendron after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Does anyone trellis their Philodendrons? My Philodendron Lemon Lime has been trailing but the vines are getting too long. Does anyone trellis these or the vines are just too flimsy for it? Any pictures are appreciated for ideas. Thank you ☺️ #NewPlantMom #HappyPlants #PlantTherapy #TropicalPlants #Philodendron

Accidentally killed my philodendron birkin using tap water BUT she wasn’t too unhappy because she was already creating new life. Repotted and am now only using distilled water. I’m sad she’s not mature enough to have striped leaves but excited to see her grown and mature into them.
