Scientific name: philodendron scandens (climbing tree-hugger) or philodendron hederaceum (ivy-like tree-hugger). Common names: sweetheart plant. Origin: tropical areas of south/ central america. If you're looking for a luscious green vining plant, then you're in the right place. This tropical plant will work hanging off a shelf, or can be trained to climb up a moss pole in the same way it would climb up a tree trunk in its native habitat. It's very easy going, and with the right care it can be a fast grower and get over 10ft long! Light: place in bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight (except maybe an hour per day in winter when it's weaker!) as this can scorch the leaves. Water: allow the top two inches of soil to dry out in between waterings (these plants are easy-going so if you wait a little longer to water don't panic!). Humidity: appreciates above average humidity, but will do just fine in most standard household humidity. Will appreciate an occasional misting, especially if in a dryer spot. Water less in darker areas. Soil: use a chunky, well draining mix. Repot every two years in spring as the plant grows. Food: will benefit from a light feed throughout spring and summer- especially since it takes a lot of energy to produce such beautiful foliage! Temperature: average household temperatures of about 18-28° are fine.
