Philodendron Hederaceum Heartleaf, aka Heartleaf Philodendron, also known as Philodendron Cordatum, is native to a small region in Southeastern coastal Brazil, not far from Rio de Janeiro and So Paulo. Its graceful, heart-shaped leaves are dark and glossy green in colour, growing profusely when it’s happy. It is incredibly forgiving and is a great first-time houseplant for anyone who wants to enjoy the natural beauty of plants without a lot of maintenance.
