Caring Tips:

  1. Fertilization: Feed your philodendron with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or eliminate fertilization during the dormant months.
  2. Potting: Repot philodendrons every 2-3 years or when they become root-bound. Use well-draining potting mix and choose a pot slightly larger than the current one.
  3. Pruning: Regularly remove any dead or yellowing leaves to maintain the plant’s appearance. Pruning can also help control the plant’s size and shape.
  4. Propagation: Philodendrons can be propagated through stem cuttings, which can be rooted in water or directly in soil.
  5. Toxicity: Many philodendron species are toxic if ingested, so keep them out of reach of pets and children.

Description

The scientific name “oxycardium” is derived from the Greek words “oxy,” meaning sharp or pointed, and “kardia,” meaning heart, which describes the heart-shaped leaves of this plant.

Characteristics of Oxycardium Plant:

Leaves: The Heartleaf Philodendron has heart-shaped, glossy green leaves that are relatively small in size. The leaves can develop a slight v-shaped cleft at the base, which adds to their distinctive appearance.

Growth Habit: Oxycardium exhibit different growth habits. Some are vining and will climb and trail, while others have a more upright or bushy growth pattern. There are also “self-heading” varieties that grow in a clump without sending out long vines.
