Houseplants feelgrounded | Philodendron Cordatum

SUN

The Philodendron Cordatum prefers bright and indirect light, though they also thrive in medium to low light conditions. 

WATER

Keep soil slightly moist and water once the soil has dried about halfway. They are forgiving but appreciate consistent waterings. Reduce frequency during fall and winter.

AIR

Mimic a tropical environment with temperatures between 65º-85º and a high moisture content. Provide a regular boost of humidity by:

• Adding a humidifier nearby

• Creating a pebble tray that lives underneath the pot

• Placement in a bathroom or kitchen, if lighting is suitable

• Misting the leaves 2-4x per week with non-tap water

PET FRIENDLY

Keep out of reach from curious pets. These are toxic when ingested. 

AESTHETIC

The Philodendron Cordatum grows many trailing vines with heart-shaped, jade-colored leaves. Native to tropical climates in Brazil, these can trail or climb with support. Depending on the conditions, their leaves will grow petite or up to 3” large. 

Their versatility to trail, hang, and climb make them a beautiful accent for any room.

HEALTH BENEFITS

Active exposure to and care for plants has many proven wellbeing benefits, such as: 

• Lower stress levels

• Improved mood

• Superior mental clarity and focus

Philodendrons are also tremendous air purifiers, capable of removing significant amounts of indoor toxins. Keep their leaves free of dust for optimal photosynthesis and oxygen production.

SPIRITUAL INTERPRETATIONS

According to Feng Shui practices, thoughtful placement in the center of your home can channel positive energy for health. Additionally, any other area of your home where you’d like to be mindful of abundant energy.

OUR RECS

We recommend a 7-inch ceramic planter with a drainage hole to provide ideal moisture balance for your Philodendron Cordatum. When repotting, keep your Cordatum in a planter of the same size or no more than 2 inches larger.  

Ideal soil is a well-draining mix with aerating and moisture-retaining amendments such as sand, bark, and/or perlite.
