Philodendron Oxycardium Golden Plant

Philodendron oxycardium golden is similar to philodendron heart shape (except that the color of golden variety is more inclined to lime green or neon yellow similar in comparison to a green money plant and a neon money plant variety) commonly known as SWEETHEART PLANT, because of the heart-shaped leaf. The leaves of the plant can vary from 4 inches to 10 inches. Sweetheart plants are climbing types and can grow up to 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide. This plant is easy to care for and provides a bright tropical touch with the leaf colors to any home.

SOIL:

• Provide a loose, well-draining soil mixture, not much sandy. Since they prefer organic content in the soil such as peat, and coconut peat, keeping a balanced acidic soil (pH 6-6.5) is beneficial to the plant growth.
• Peat moss can be a great alternative for growing medium.

LIGHT:

• These plant needs a bright indirect light so keep near a window where sunlight does not fall. Do not let direct sunlight touch the foliage, the leaves may become scorched or many leaves will turn yellow.
• An adequate amount of light is necessary to keep the plant compact. Hence, its light demand is slightly more than other types of philodendrons.
