Philodendron 'Oxycardium Green' in Self-Watering Planter
Philodendron hederaceum, commonly known as Oxycardium Green, is a vigorous evergreen climbing plant with glossy, heart-shaped leaves that develop into a lush cascading vine over time.
This plant comes in a self-watering planter, ensuring consistent moisture and making it easier to maintain healthy growth with reduced risk of overwatering or underwatering.
Native to Mexico and Brazil, it is one of the easiest indoor plants to grow and adapts well to a wide range of indoor conditions. New leaves emerge slightly translucent before maturing into deep, rich green foliage.
Environment
Light: Tolerates low light conditions but grows best in bright, indirect sunlight.
Water: The self-watering pot maintains steady moisture. Refill as needed and allow slight drying of the top layer between refills.
Humidity: Prefers normal humidity. Occasional misting helps maintain healthy foliage.
Temperature: Thrives in warm tropical conditions and does not tolerate cold environments.
Soil: Any well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix is suitable.
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced 20-20-20 liquid fertilizer at half strength every 2 weeks during the growing season.
Placement
Ideal for indoor spaces such as living rooms, offices, and shaded balconies. Its trailing nature makes it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or moss pole setups.
Also helps improve indoor air quality by removing toxins such as formaldehyde, benzene, xylene, and ammonia.
Caution
Parts of the plant are toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children, as philodendrons are harmful to dogs and cats.
