Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium

Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium is a green heartleaf Philodendron with slim flexible vines and glossy cordate leaves that taper to a pointed tip. The stems can trail from a hanging pot, extend along a surface or climb when aerial roots find support.

The leaves are usually medium to dark green, cordate at the base and pointed at the tip. Young plants make smaller leaves on loose stems, while older vines can produce broader leaves when warmth, root health and upward growth stay steady.

Glossy pointed leaves on flexible green vines

  • Glossy green leaves with a cordate base and pointed tip.
  • Flexible stems can trail, cascade or climb when given a pole, plank or trellis.
  • Long vines can be shortened above a node to encourage side shoots.
  • Visible nodes make stem cuttings and pruning cuts easy to place.
  • Several cuttings in one pot can produce denser growth from the base.

From juvenile heart leaves to broader climbing foliage

Philodendron hederaceum is an epiphytic climber in Araceae, the aroid family, with a broad native range from Mexico through Tropical America. Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium is native from Mexico to Honduras and grows as a climber in the wet tropical biome.

Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium has glossy green leaves, pointed tips and flexible vining stems. The epithet oxycardium refers to the pointed heart shape of the leaf blade.

Steady care for green heartleaf Philodendron

  • Light: Place in bright indirect light for tighter internodes; it tolerates softer light but may grow longer, thinner vines.
  • Substrate: A loose aroid mix gives the fleshy roots oxygen and reduces the risk of wet-root yellowing.
  • Watering: Water when the upper mix has dried, then let excess water leave the pot completely.
  • Temperature: Keep above 18 °C for steady growth and avoid cold glass or draughts.
  • Humidity: Moderate indoor humidity is usually suitable, but very dry air can make new tips smaller or slower to open.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots have filled the pot, using a container with drainage and only a modest size increase.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser; steady green vines do not need heavy feeding.
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings root from nodes, especially when each cutting has at least one healthy leaf and one visible node.
  • Semi-hydroponics: The plant can adapt to inert or mineral substrates if roots are transitioned carefully and kept oxygenated.
  • Placement: Place it where the vines have room to trail or climb, away from cold air movement and harsh direct sun.
  • Climbing setup: A pole, plank or trellis lets the stems climb and can encourage broader leaves on established vines.
  • Maintenance: Cut long stems above a node to encourage new side shoots; rooted cuttings can be planted back into the pot for denser growth.
  • Growth rate: Growth is usually moderate to fast in warmth, bright indirect light and a loose, evenly managed root zone.

Bare stems, yellow leaves and node pests

  • Leggy growth: Usually linked to low light or long unsupported stems; prune and move to brighter indirect light.
  • Yellow leaves near the base: Check for overwatering, blocked drainage or old compacted substrate.
  • Small leaves on older vines: Add support or prune back to a stronger node if trailing stems have become too long.
  • Brown tips: Look at watering consistency, salt buildup and dry air before changing several conditions at once.
  • Pest clusters at nodes: Inspect under leaves and along stems, especially where vines overlap in a dense hanging pot.

Safety

This heartleaf Philodendron contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets that chew plants and avoid touching your eyes after pruning or handling cut stems.

Published variety and pointed leaf name

Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium was published as Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium (Schott) Croat in World Checklist and Bibliography of Araceae in 2002. The variety is based on the earlier name Philodendron oxycardium Schott. Philodendron comes from Greek roots for fondness and tree, hederaceum refers to ivy-like growth, and oxycardium combines pointed with heart.

Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium brings glossy green heart-shaped leaves to a flexible vine that can stay trailing or climb into broader, more mature growth.

Perfect fit for 2019 Jeep 3.2L engine
Size: (Pack of 1)
No way to really know how a filter is doing without a close examination AFTER it is used, but then the amount of debris trapped by a filter depends on how much debris is generated by the engine. But this filter looks to be quality constriction and is rated to 15,000 miles using synthetic oil. The brand is well known and has been in business for many decades, trusted by many.

Excellent, well built filter at a low price
Size: (Pack of 1)
An excellent build quality filter, especially for the money. Definitely top three along with Mobil-One and WIX filters. However, the regular WIX/NAPA Gold has much better filtration efficiency at smaller microns. The WiX XP has much better dirt capacity than either, but actually has lower filtration efficiency than regular WIX. Both are better in their own ways than the Purolator Boss at a few dollars more, but this is still MILES better than Fram or Bosch or STP (or god forbid, SuperTech), etc. and usually the best at a low price on Amazon. If you run long change intervals like 7,500-10,000mi, spring the couple extra dollars for the WIX XP for the dirt capacity. If you want the absolute best filtration efficiency (me) for a 3,000-5,000mi interval, get the regular WIX/NAPA Gold. I don't recommend change intervals longer than 10,000mi, though I still use Mobil One Extended (best value, 20,000mi rated) or Amsoil Signature Series (25,000mi rated but expensive) for the extra protection.

Good OEM replacement, but check the contents
Size: (Pack of 1)
This filter was perfect for my 2020 ram 1500, however I had to get a replacement because the gasket was not included in the box as delivered. I contacted the seller and they replaced it within two days. The replacement unit had both the filter, and the gasket in the box it should've been.
