Philodendron ‘Cordatum’ (Philodendron hederaceum group)

Cordatum is a trailing foliage plant known for its classic heart-shaped leaves and versatile growth habit.

Cordatum features smooth, deep green, heart-shaped leaves that develop along slender, vining stems. The foliage grows from individual nodes and forms a soft, cascading canopy when allowed to trail, or climbs when provided support. As it matures, it maintains a uniform leaf size and consistent coloration, creating a clean, continuous flow of foliage in interior placements. This plant is widely used in interiorscape and hanging basket environments for its adaptability, reliable growth, and classic trailing appearance.

· Classic heart-shaped foliage creates timeless appeal
