Style and Decor
Light Requirements: Indoors, the Philodendron Golden Heart needs bright indirect light but it can grow well in full shade too. Outdoors, your Philodendron needs partial sunlight. Direct sunlight can burn your plant.
Locations: Indoors you can place your Philodendron in a south or west-facing window which will protect your plant from direct sunlight and at the same time provide just the right amount for it to thrive. Shaded balconies also are ideal for the Philodendron.
Styling/decor tip: Whatever your decor is, the large, heart-shaped, leathery leaves of the Philodendron will add life to your living space. A Philodendron in your living room will add texture and color and also make your living room feel more tropical. Let it trail form on top of shelves or hanging planters to add character, let it climb the walls with the help of a trellis or wire clips for a more tropical feel or let it thrive on a moss stick to add height to your space. Easy to grow with its beautiful leaves hanging delicately from the vines, it’s your go-to plant.
Plant Essentials
Fertilizer/ feed for the plant: A well-balanced fertilizer every fifteen days in its main growing season – summer months, and a rich compost mix potting medium while potting or repotting and it’s set for a long haul.
Repotting: An easy-to-maintain plant that you will have to report once the roots start growing out of the current pot. Choose a pot slightly larger than the older pot when repotting.
Propagation: The easiest family of plants to propagate, the philodendrons can be easily propagated by stem cuttings, air layering, or by offset both in soil and in water.
