Heartleaf Philodendron Care

Philodendrons need a moderate amount of soil moisture. Before watering a philodendron, you should check a top inch of soil (2 cm) to make sure it is dry. It is important to let a soil dry out in between waterings. Water a plant once a week unless a soil is still saturated.

Never remove more than a third of the foliage in any one year and cut just above a node on the stem.

Mix the recommended amount of liquid fertilizer and water in a watering can. Then simply pour the mix into the soil as if you're watering the plant.

Give the plants a break during the hot summer sun and place them in a partial shade.

Well-drained.

Climbing philodendrons are easy to propagate from stem cuttings placed in a glass of water. Rooting hormone will increase the chances of success but is usually not necessary. Once a good network of roots has become established in water, pot up the new specimen.
Self-heading philodendrons sometimes send out plantlets that can be potted up once they gain some size. Philodendrons rarely flower indoors, so gathering seeds and planting them is not an option.
Some of the philodendron varieties are extremely fast-growers, especially the climbers. Pinch off the new growth to keep the plant manageable and repot them annually as they outgrow their pots. 
Repot larger self-heading varieties as needed. These kinds (especially P. bipinnatifidum) can sometimes grow into very large specimens (8 feet tall, with 2- to 3-foot leaves), so be aware you'll need room for them to grow.

Average room temperature 60-75°F/16-24°C

Container should provide ample drainage and room for growth. It actually responds very well to slight crowding, however, so with each repotting you should move it to a container that is only a little bit larger.
