Style and Decor
Light Requirements: Indoors, the Philodendron Golden Heart needs bright indirect light but it can grow well in full shade too. Outdoors, your Philodendron needs partial sunlight. Direct sunlight can burn your plant.
Locations: Indoors you can place your Philodendron in a south or west-facing window which will protect your plant from direct sunlight.
Styling/decor tip: Versatility is its name – any décor, any space – the large heart-shaped leaves are your answer. Let it trail form on top of shelves or hanging planters to add character, let it climb the walls with the help of a trellis or wire clips for a more tropical feel or let it thrive on a moss stick to add height to your space.
