Heartleaf Philodendron
This is general guidance. Adjust watering and care for your home's light, temperature, humidity, potting mix, container, and season.

Mine pours off the middle shelf in a waterfall of glossy green hearts, and it’s endlessly forgiving if I forget a watering. Every few months I take cuttings, root them in a jar on the windowsill, and pass them along.
