Philodendron hederaceum, commonly referred to as Philodendron scandens or the Heartleaf Philodendron, is one of the most classic and easy-to-grow tropical houseplants. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, this graceful climbing aroid from the Araceae family is beloved for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves and forgiving care requirements.

The foliage is a rich, deep green with a soft sheen, growing along slender, trailing or climbing stems. Its naturally cascading habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets, high shelves, or trained up moss poles and trellises. When mature and supported vertically, Philodendron scandens can produce larger, more elongated leaves, giving it a dramatic, jungle-like appeal.

This plant is ideal for beginners and experienced growers alike, adding instant tropical charm and lush greenery to any indoor space.


Philodendron hederaceum (scandens) – Care Guide

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light but is highly adaptable and can tolerate medium to low-light conditions. Too little light may slow growth and reduce leaf size. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering

Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist, allowing excess water to drain away. Avoid letting the plant sit in water or remain completely dry for long periods. Reduce watering slightly in winter.

Temperature and Humidity

  • Temperature: Prefers warmth, 18–28°C. Avoid cold draughts and temperatures below 15°C.

  • Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity but thrives in higher levels (50–70%). Mist occasionally or group with other plants for a humidity boost.

Soil and Potting

Use a chunky, well-draining aroid mix – peat-free compost combined with orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir works well. Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh the soil and give roots more space.

Feeding

Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Stop feeding during autumn and winter.

Pruning and Maintenance

Trim vines as needed to control length and encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves. Cuttings can be easily propagated in water or soil, making it simple to expand your collection or share with friends.

Growth and Maturity

A fast-growing, trailing or climbing plant that can reach 1–2 metres indoors. Its flexible vines and glossy foliage make it perfect for a variety of displays — from cascading arrangements to trained climbing specimens.

Common Issues

  • Yellowing leaves: Overwatering or poor drainage.

  • Leggy growth: Low light or lack of pruning.

  • Brown leaf tips: Low humidity or inconsistent watering.

  • Pests: Occasionally thrips, spider mites, or mealybugs.

Background and Benefits

Philodendron scandens is one of the most popular tropical houseplants for good reason — it’s hardy, fast-growing, and incredibly versatile. Its name “Philodendron” comes from the Greek words philo (love) and dendron (tree), a nod to its climbing nature. In addition to its beauty, it’s also known to improve indoor air quality by filtering toxins, making it both decorative and functional.


Quick Care Summary

  • Light: Bright, indirect; tolerates low light

  • Water: Lightly moist; allow topsoil to dry slightly

  • Temperature: 18–28°C; avoid below 15°C

  • Humidity: Average to high (50–70%)

  • Soil: Chunky, free-draining aroid mix

  • Feed: Every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer

  • Growth: Fast-growing trailing or climbing vine, 1–2 m; glossy green heart-shaped leaves


⚠️ Toxicity Note: Like all Philodendrons, Philodendron scandens is toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.


🌿 Styling Tip:
Let your Philodendron scandens trail from a hanging planter for a cascading effect, or train it vertically on a moss pole to create a lush, upright statement piece. Its versatility and deep green colour make it a timeless houseplant for any décor style.

Perfect Toy for Large Dogs
Size: Medium, Style: Cheddar Cheese
I don’t normally leave reviews, but this toy is stellar and is a new favorite for my dog! She is a large dog (70lbs cattle dog lab mix) and I accidentally bought a medium, but it actually is a great size for her! So far this stands up to her chewing, but I may need to update in a few weeks to speak for durability but it really does feel solid. Most toys don’t last an afternoon once she starts chewing, so this has already won in that regard. The shape is perfect as well. She can gnaw at it, squeak, play fetch, play tug. It bounces when she throws it around herself. The fact it smells like stinky cheese is just an added bonus for her. All around, a very well designed dog toy!

Boxer Baby’s Favorite
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
This toy is my sweet girl’s absolute favorite. It was the first thing we gave her when we brought her home, and she has been obsessed with it since. She brings it from room to room, inside and outside. I would highly recommend this toy, however, we have gone through six in one year. They’re not very durable, especially with our boxer mix, who is a very heavy chewer. I’ve gotten the red and the blue, and she will only take red, which is fine with me because the blue STINKS. The red stinks too, but less so. The squeak is very loud, but she genuinely loves it so much that it’s hard to be annoyed by it. I’d say give the toy a try, you may be unintentionally giving them their favorite thing ever lol.

Design Hazard
Size: Medium, Style: Bacon, Size: Medium, Style: Bacon
I have one of these in a larger version I picked up at the petstore. This one I do not recommend. There is a whole in the center where the pet bites down and my doggies' teeth kept getting stuck in it. If you've ever had a toy get stuck in your pups mouth, you've seen how thet go nuts trying to get it out.

Cane Corso approved
Size: Jumbo, Style: Beef
I have two Cane Corsos, One is 80 pounds the other is 120 pounds. They can seriously destroy some toys very easily. These chewies have actually lasted for over six months at this point, which is pretty much miraculous. I bought them some more just so I always had plenty of them laying around as this discourages them from getting into trouble, chewing things they shouldn’t be chewing. They walk around with these and their mouths all the time and even after all these months, the squeakers still work. These are really high-quality and if you have a dog that just destroys toy toy, I highly recommend these. Even though they’ve had these for months, they go back to them to chew on and play with , it’s also really funny because they walk around with one and hanging out of their mouth and it looks like they’ve got a stogie hanging out of their mouth. If these toys can keep the interest and survive being mauled by these two giant Destructo mutts, then they must be really, really tough. I highly recommend these for super chewers. These even a hold up to having one dog, grab each end and then play tug-of-war with it. These guys can Easily go through A cow huff every day, but these toys are still going strong

Not a chew toy
Size: Medium (VALUE 2-Pack), Style: Beef
This is not for a voracious chewer...not durable. My dog destroyed in a matter of minutes, so the cost was high compared to the time it lasted. Maybe my expectation was too high but was disappointed in this product.
