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.

brilliant, painful
Format: Hardcover
Timely, provocative, brilliant, painful, and, ultimately, a very necessary step toward authentic national healing and transformation. As a white, long-time fellow traveler, I am so grateful that Dr. Dyson has answered his calling to lead us toward redemptive justice with truth, decency and love--albeit, at times, necessary tough love. I am in my third read already and learning more and more each time. Dyson's sermon serves as an exceptional read for believer and non-believer alike as it offers a framework and lexicon for us to engage with one another as we work our way through ongoing racially turbulent and polarized times. I am not a critic by trade so I will leave the professional analysis to the experts. I am a K-12 educator and seeker of social justice. I found this work both accessible and challenging in the best of ways. In my daily work, the evidence of the invention of whiteness, white innocence and white fragility and their pernicious impacts are ubiquitously abundant such that Dyson’s claims simply cannot be denied. Dyson’s sermon is not always a comfortable read. That’s the point. It is a workout for the soul and psyche that results in the growing pains necessary for personal and collective liberation. Thank you, Rev. Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, for opening your head and heart so broadly and deeply there is room enough for all of us in this racial healing process. The writing of this book is the ultimate act of truth and forgiveness. You have entrusted us with your most profound insights, personal experiences, and extend a vulnerability that humbles and arrests me. As you shared in a recent interview, "your trust in us grows out of forgiveness and the demand for truth for which is stands on, and the love it seeks to extend". Amen! I am in!

Powerful, challenging, and inspiring. An essential read
Format: Hardcover
This is a book that I challenge all my white friends to read, no matter where you stand on the spectrum of confronting white privilege and systemic racism. Michael Eric Dyson delivers a powerful, engaging, personal, informational, inspiring sermon that’s essential at this moment in time when racial division is especially high. I urge you to read with an open heart and mind, to set aside your discomfort and listen to Dyson’s plea for white Americans to reckon with the harsh truths of racism. Dyson is an ordained minister, so what better way to present this than as a sermon. He divides it into multiple sections: in “Hymns of Praise,” he cleverly shares hymns in the form of rap lyrics; in “Scripture Reading,” he quotes Martin Luther King Jr.; in the main sermon, he addresses whiteness specifically (including white innocence, white fragility, and white privilege) and then segues into a section about what it’s like to be black in America. Following that is “Benediction,” one of my favorite parts: in it he offers practical suggestions for what white people can do to make things better. The whole thing is incredibly current and topical, with commentary on Black Lives Matter, the recent election and Donald Trump’s rise to power. For white people who seek to understand more about racism and white privilege in America (and really, that should be all of us), this is the book to read. It was literally written for us.

Best book I’ve ever read
Format: Hardcover
I had to read this book in grad school and it changed my life. I have recommended it countless times and given it as gifts to many family members. Dr. Dyson explains racial concepts in easy to hear language and specifically targets white folks. As a white person, I have learned so much from Dr. Dyson through this book. I believe every white person should read this book. I also had the privilege to hear Dr. Dyson speak at my university, and his spoken words and written words carry the same passion and energy. Truly this book is one of a kind. This book really is a sermon to white america, I doubt most people of color would gain as much from his words. Dr. Dyson uses mostly black and white language, and addresses issues about whiteness and how it permeates our society and upholds racism. Anyone could read and enjoy this book, but white folks (especially the white people who don’t think they’re racist) need to read it.

Often painful to read, but a must-read for anyone who cares about racial injustice
Format: Hardcover
I highly recommend the Rev. Dr. Dyson's book, "Tears We Cannot Stop," for anyone who's looking for a social-justice and racial-justice read. Michael Eric Dyson's writing is as poetic as it is prophetic; he writes this book with the cadence and beauty of an inspiring, humbling, and deeply moving church sermon. He concludes this work with recommended readings and viewings for white allies in the antiracist fight, and calls for all white Americans to take meaningful action to fix what has been going on for too painfully long (hundreds of years). This book is not without some really hard, tough truths, and it is often painful to read, but in my opinion, if we're ever going to move forward as a nation, we white Americans need to confront our country's ugly history with racism and deal with our all-too-easy to sweep racial injustice under the rug due to our white privilege. A must-read for anyone who cares about racial injustice and who wants to take positive, concrete action to end it.
