✨ Why You'll Love the Heartleaf Philodendron Baby

- One of the easiest indoor plants to care for

🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light but adapts well to medium or low-light conditions, making it versatile for European homes. Avoid harsh direct sun that may scorch its leaves.
💧 Water & Humidity
Water when the top 2 cm of soil feels dry. Baby Philodendrons in small pots dry out faster, so check moisture more frequently. Tolerates average indoor humidity but thrives in slightly more humid conditions.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a light, well-draining houseplant soil with perlite or coco coir. Repot after 1–2 years as it grows into a trailing beauty, upgrading to a larger container to support stronger roots.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Not pet-safe. Keep away from pets and children, as ingestion may cause irritation.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
This baby Philodendron will eventually trail or climb. Propagate mature plants by stem cuttings in water or soil to easily expand your collection once it grows larger.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce watering and feeding in winter when growth slows down.
🐛 Common Issues
-
Yellowing leaves: Usually from overwatering—allow soil to dry slightly between waterings.
-
Leggy vines: Caused by insufficient light—move to a brighter spot.
-
Brown tips: Often due to dry indoor air or underwatering.
