The Philodendron scandens, also known as the heart vine, is a climbing or trailing plant native to the tropical forests of Central and South America, prized for its soft, shiny tender green heart-shaped leaves. Its flexible stems and cordate leaves create a romantic and natural effect that suits any setting — cascading from a shelf, hanging like a curtain from a support, or forming a leafy cloud in a hanging planter.

Its exceptional tolerance to low light and rapid growth make it one of the most versatile trailing plants in the decorative trailing plants collection and the low-light plants selection.

Which Philodendron variety to choose?

The Philodendron genus includes dozens of species with very distinct shapes. Here’s how to place the Philodendron scandens among the references in the Philodendron collection — to choose between a Philodendron and a Monstera, as both genera often share the same locations and uses:

  • Philodendron scandens (this plant) — shiny tender green cordate leaves, very flexible trailing or climbing habit. The most versatile and easiest to care for in the range.
  • Philodendron Birkin — dark green foliage with fine white stripes, compact upright habit. The choice for precise graphic appeal and a more structured form.
  • Philodendron melanochrysum — large velvety dark green leaves with light veins, climbing habit. The choice for spectacular XXL foliage and rare velvety texture.
  • Philodendron White Princess — white and green variegated foliage, upright habit. The choice for striking variegation and very graphic leaves.
  • Philodendron Diamond Variegata — elegant green and cream marbling. The choice for softer, more natural variegation.
  • Philodendron Pedatum — spectacularly cut foliage, climbing habit, large size. The choice for a very architectural tropical effect in a large space.

Light & placement

Philodendron scandens is one of the few tropical plants that truly tolerates low light — a rare asset that makes it the ideal solution for dark rooms and corners without direct windows where most tropicals refuse to thrive.

  • Light: indirect to partial shade — tolerates shade, just avoid direct sunlight which burns the leaves.
  • Locations: bedroom, bathroom, office, dimly lit hallway — anywhere few plants survive.
  • Temperature: 15 to 27 °C, tolerates moderate fluctuations.

When hanging near a window, grow it trailing — on a moss pole in a less bright corner, grow it climbing to enjoy its fast growth and quickly cover a wall or shelf.

Watering & care

Philodendron scandens prefers a slightly moist but never soggy substrate — let the top 3 to 5 centimeters dry out between waterings, a rule valid for most indoor tropical plants.

  • Frequency: about once a week in spring-summer, every two weeks in winter.
  • Drainage: essential — use a pot with drainage holes and well-draining substrate.
  • Humidity: occasionally mist the foliage to replicate the tropical atmosphere.
  • Fertilizer: a liquid fertilizer for green plants diluted once a month in spring and summer.
  • Pruning: pinch stems regularly to encourage branching and a bushier habit.

Philodendron scandens roots very easily in water — cut a stem with a node, place it in a glass of water, and roots appear in 2 to 3 weeks, just as described for tropical plant cuttings.

Decor ideas & plant pairings

The flexibility and fast growth of Philodendron scandens make it an ideal structural plant for hanging arrangements — it quickly fills empty spaces and adds volume in the darkest corners.

  • For a very graphic trio hanging arrangement, pair Philodendron scandens with a Pothos and a Monstera adansonii — the heart-shaped leaves of scandens, the marbled leaves of Pothos, and the perforated leaves of Monstera create three very complementary textures in the same green palette.
  • On a moss pole in a dim corner, let Philodendron scandens climb a moss pole — its tolerance to partial shade makes it one of the few plants to quickly cover a wall or shelf in less sunny spaces.
  • For a contrast foliage pairing, place it alongside a Calathea Lancifolia — the smooth, shiny cordate leaves of Philodendron contrast with the elongated, spotted leaves of Calathea for a very dynamic tropical composition.
  • In a macramé or natural fiber decorative pot, the trailing stems of Philodendron scandens create a natural cascading effect that is very elegant — choose a hanging decorative pot in white ceramic or terracotta to highlight the softness of the tender green foliage.

Verdeia Tips

  • Pinch stems regularly for a bushier habit: left unpruned, Philodendron scandens produces long, sparsely branched stems — pinching the tips encourages new lateral shoots and a dense, generous silhouette that is much more decorative.
  • Choose your growing style from the start: trailing in a hanging planter for an elegant cascading effect, or climbing on a moss pole for larger leaves and more pronounced fenestrations — both styles give very different results and the decision is made from the beginning.
  • Propagate regularly to thicken the plant: cut the longest stems, replant them directly in the mother plant’s pot — within a few weeks, new shoots emerge and the plant becomes much fuller and more voluminous.

Very nice fleeces
This is a clean, soft, well groomed fleece intended for use on a 6 foot long sofa, so bought 2. They moved too much as a result of shifting bodies on the leather couch, so will get a longer version, sewn bottom to bottom, and used each of these fleeces on both armrests, instead.

Excellent Product!!! Will purchase again!
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
Instead of ordering a cover for reclining loveseats, I chose to drape one of these over the headrest on either end of our loveseat. Not only do they protect the leather, they also help to elevate our decor. The rugs were received in a very timely manner. They are super soft, & warming as we move into the winter months. We've had family & friends comment on how great they look. 2 of them have already ordered, & added them to their sofa/loveseat/recliner decor. Have an issue of them slipping, add some velcro in between the crook of the cushion & the back of the furniture piece. It doesn't show & will help to keep the rug in place; if your busy body.!

Perfect for sensory sensitive kids and for the pure beauty of it
Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Natural (Yellow Undertones), Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Natural (Yellow Undertones)
After speaking over the phone with the seller, I was confident in this purchase for my SPD son. They do not use harsh chemicals or dyes in the process. It is from New Zealand and the only use in Vietnam is for shipping. My son hasn't been diagnosed yet for Autism but he is in the process. He is super sensitive to all things sensory and Amazon feedback isn't the place to give specific details on his condition but I will write that when he fist touched it- which was willingly- he smiled and asked to sleep on it. When he laid down on it and I covered him- he was calm and smiling. In the pic I provided he is calm and holding his door (his obsession is doors and windows). He even set his door down to hold the fur. For other mommies and papas with spd/autistic kids you know that willingly touching a new fabric and setting down an obsessive item is huge and super encouraging! I am so grateful to have such a quality item that is affordable for my special needs son. His older sister received one as well as is now pretending to be a sheep. Fun for everyone! The ONLY negative is that the brand/info sticker on the pelt was a pain to get off and pulled some of the felt - not damaging it but blemishing the unity -but if the skin is down it will not be noticeable. A super fun detail is that all of the fur is combed out but there were a few strands that were wavy and had a slight curl- I LOVED that. There was no odor at all which is great! I expected an animal smell which is better than chlorine or dioxin which is what competitors use in their process. There is no noticeable seam in the middle on the top where the two pelts are gathered. I am soooo satisfied!

Exactly as described and what I needed.
Size: 2' x 6' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
I have a bad back along with other medical problems. I bought this for padding in my wheelchair. Very thick, soft, flexible, everything I needed. No smell and very little shedding even initially. Arrived quickly and well packaged.

High quality sheepskin!!
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
This sheepskin was purchased as a "chair cover" for my pets. It arrived with very nice packaging, along with detailed care instructions. The sheepskin was advertised as being"not white" online, and the company made very sure to state that the fur has an "off white/yellow" color. That was a little concerning for me, and I wasn't really sure whether it would have an off color, but it arrived exactly as described. There were no obvious discolorations, spots, or blemishes. In fact, it arrived as a soft "off white" color that is very beautiful and exquisite. The fur has a plush, even look, and there is no matting or fuzzy, "neglected teddy bear look" at all! I actually purchased another brand to see if I could distinguish the difference between the two. This particular sheepskin is by far the better of the two purchases. FYI: When the package was opened, there was no distinct odor. That's a huge plus! I will admit that the size was slightly smaller than expected. It really doesn't matter much in the space I'm using it for though. My miniature Dachshund loves it! If you're trying to find a high quality sheepskin, and you don't need to cover a very large space, this is definitely the one to buy!
