Ed's Plant Shop Philodendron hederaceum

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

While it can tolerate lower light, the bright yellow stripes will fade if the plant is kept in too much shade. For the most vibrant color, place it in a spot with bright, indirect light, such as near an east-facing window.

Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Because it is a fast grower, check the moisture levels weekly, but be careful not to let the soil become soggy, as this can lead to root rot.

Yes, this Philodendron is naturally a climber. You can easily train it to grow upward by securing the vines to a moss pole or trellis as they lengthen.

The plant arrives in a standard 4-inch plastic nursery pot. We recommend placing it inside a decorative planter with drainage holes to match your home's aesthetic.
