Nationwide Plants Philodendron Cordatum

No, this plant is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best kept on a high shelf or in a hanging basket where curious pets cannot reach the trailing vines.

In ideal indoor conditions, the vines can reach a mature length of 4 to 6 feet. You can easily trim them back if you prefer a fuller, more compact look rather than long, trailing tendrils.

Yes, this plant ships in a 3-inch diameter nursery pot. It is a great size for starting on a bookshelf or desk, though you may want to repot it into a decorative container once it begins to outgrow its starter pot.
