Care Tips for Your Variegated Heartleaf:
• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its striking variegation. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little may dull the colors.
• Watering: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering. It’s forgiving, but avoid letting it sit in soggy soil.
• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity but adapts well to normal indoor levels. A light mist or nearby humidifier can boost its growth.
• Pruning: Regular trimming keeps its vines lush and encourages new growth.
The Philodendron hederaceum oxycardium ‘Variegata’ is the perfect blend of beauty and ease. Whether cascading from a planter or climbing towards the light, this plant is sure to steal hearts in your home. 🌱✨
