MCH specialist Erin at Ward’s Nursery and Garden Center really enjoys phildendron cordatum for its vibrant color and vining habit—you can trellis it to almost any structure in your home. The plant prefers bright indirect light and will tolerate shade. It’s epiphytic and epilithic which can also be fun! Please be aware, the plant is poisonous if ingested.
