We are confident that this beauty of a plant will climb its way right into your heart with its lovely heart-shaped leaves. The climbing doesn’t stop there with the sweetheart plant as it is a master of ascending to dizzy heights - with the help of a moss pole. If size really does matter to you, make sure that you give your Philodendron Scandens a serving of fertiliser during the summer to keep it long and strong.
Fast-growing, the Sweetheart Plant will grow to astonishing lengths if you don’t trim it back. Add a moss pole to let it climb high, or leave it be and hang it by a window.
As much as you will want to show off your newly beloved, make sure you do so somewhere that is a bit darker as it absolutely loves the shade. Although we are sure that the Heart-Leaf Philodendron will be the love of your life, please be aware that it can be quite jealous of the ones closest to you, so don’t let it get near your little or furry Pricklettes.Â
