Philodendron Cordatum Lime (4")

Philodendron Cordatum Lime

Lemon Lime Heartleaf Philodendron
Philodendron hederaceum 'Lemon Lime'

Care Difficulty
Easy. A fast-growing, low-maintenance houseplant that is perfect for beginners.

Light Requirements
Bright, indirect light is ideal. It tolerates medium light, but the vibrant lime-green foliage develops its best colour in brighter conditions. Avoid prolonged direct afternoon sun.

Water Requirements
Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry before watering. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain away. Avoid letting the soil remain constantly wet.

Humidity
Prefers moderate to high humidity (40 to 70%) but grows well in average household conditions.

Pet Safety
Not pet safe. Contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic if chewed by cats, dogs, or people. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Growth Speed
Fast. Under ideal conditions, vines can grow several feet each year.

Expected Mature Size

• Vines: 4 to 8 feet indoors
• Spread: 2 to 4 feet, depending on how it is displayed

Pot Size
Repot every 2 to 3 years or when roots become crowded. Choose a pot with drainage holes.

Where it Grows Best
Indoors in bright, indirect light. Excellent in hanging baskets, on shelves, or trained to climb a moss pole or trellis.

Perfect for…

• Beginner plant owners
• Hanging baskets
• Offices
• Bright living spaces

Common Mistakes

• Overwatering, which can cause root rot.
• Growing in very low light, resulting in smaller leaves and slower growth.
• Placing the plant in direct afternoon sun.
• Using soil that doesn't drain well.
• Letting vines become too long without pruning if a fuller plant is desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lemon Lime Philodendron the same as Heartleaf Philodendron?
Yes. It is a colourful cultivar of the Heartleaf Philodendron, featuring vibrant chartreuse to lime-green leaves instead of deep green foliage.

Can it climb or trail?
Both. It naturally trails from hanging baskets but will readily climb a moss pole or trellis, often producing larger leaves as it matures.

How do I make it fuller?
Prune the growing tips regularly to encourage branching. Stem cuttings root easily in water or potting mix and can be planted back into the pot.

How often should I fertilize it?
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced water-soluble houseplant fertilizer at half strength. Fertilizing is generally unnecessary during winter.

Why are my leaves turning yellow?
Yellow leaves are most commonly caused by overwatering. Check that the soil is allowed to partially dry between waterings and that excess water drains freely.

Can it tolerate low light?
Yes. It survives well in medium to lower light, but its bright lime colouring and vigorous growth are best in bright, indirect light.
