Cordatum Philodendron-Live Plants in 6 In. Pots-Rare and Elegant Indoor Houseplant

Philodendrons are tropical plants native to Central and South America. These evergreen perennials belong to the Araceae family-the same family as pothos plants. There are hundreds of philodendron species, each with its own unique cultivars. The most common philodendron plants produce long vines or stems adorned with thick, waxy, dark green leaves. They can be planted indoors year-round and are fast growers. Depending on the species of philodendron and the size of the container they're planted in, they can grow anywhere from 1 to 6 ft. long and equally wide. Philodendrons are also a great plant choice to purify the air in your home. They're best planted in the spring, but houseplants typically can be started with success at any time of year. This species typically grows best in partial sunlight. Philodendrons need sun, but they would naturally receive dappled light under a tropical canopy rather than direct light. Indoors, set them up by a window that gets bright, indirect light. Philodendrons like loose potting soil that's rich in organic matter. The soil must have good drainage. For container plants, it's recommended to replace your philodendron's soil every couple of years or so.
