Philodendron hederaceum
Originally from the tropical rainforests of Brazil, he quickly climbed his way to the top of American houseplant culture due to ease of care, resilience, and light flexibility. Talk about a hat trick. A few of his other great talents include climbing, trailing, and easy propagation.
Low to bright indirect light. Direct light may burn his leaves.
Water around once a week.
