Heart Leaf Oxycardium Plant: A Sweetheart Among Houseplants

 

The Heart Leaf Oxycardium Plant, also known as the Sweetheart Plant, is a delightful tropical vine that graces homes and offices with its lush, heart-shaped emerald leaves. Its scientific name, Philodendron hederaceum, reflects its love for climbing—just like a devoted sweetheart seeking higher ground. Its hardy nature and ability to thrive in various light conditions make it an excellent choice for those seeking a resilient and eye-catching plant. Whether you're looking to add a pop of color to your living space or create a lush, tropical oasis in your garden, the Heart Leaf Oxycardium Plant promises to delight with its unique foliage and easy-care requirements.

  • Fertilization: Feed your plant every 4-6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season (spring to early fall).
