Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium

Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium is a green heartleaf Philodendron with slim flexible vines and glossy cordate leaves that taper to a pointed tip. The stems can trail from a hanging pot, extend along a surface or climb when aerial roots find support.

The leaves are usually medium to dark green, cordate at the base and pointed at the tip. Young plants make smaller leaves on loose stems, while older vines can produce broader leaves when warmth, root health and upward growth stay steady.

Glossy pointed leaves on flexible green vines

  • Glossy green leaves with a cordate base and pointed tip.
  • Flexible stems can trail, cascade or climb when given a pole, plank or trellis.
  • Long vines can be shortened above a node to encourage side shoots.
  • Visible nodes make stem cuttings and pruning cuts easy to place.
  • Several cuttings in one pot can produce denser growth from the base.

From juvenile heart leaves to broader climbing foliage

Philodendron hederaceum is an epiphytic climber in Araceae, the aroid family, with a broad native range from Mexico through Tropical America. Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium is native from Mexico to Honduras and grows as a climber in the wet tropical biome.

Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium has glossy green leaves, pointed tips and flexible vining stems. The epithet oxycardium refers to the pointed heart shape of the leaf blade.

Steady care for green heartleaf Philodendron

  • Light: Place in bright indirect light for tighter internodes; it tolerates softer light but may grow longer, thinner vines.
  • Substrate: A loose aroid mix gives the fleshy roots oxygen and reduces the risk of wet-root yellowing.
  • Watering: Water when the upper mix has dried, then let excess water leave the pot completely.
  • Temperature: Keep above 18 °C for steady growth and avoid cold glass or draughts.
  • Humidity: Moderate indoor humidity is usually suitable, but very dry air can make new tips smaller or slower to open.
  • Repotting: Repot when roots have filled the pot, using a container with drainage and only a modest size increase.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced houseplant fertiliser; steady green vines do not need heavy feeding.
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings root from nodes, especially when each cutting has at least one healthy leaf and one visible node.
  • Semi-hydroponics: The plant can adapt to inert or mineral substrates if roots are transitioned carefully and kept oxygenated.
  • Placement: Place it where the vines have room to trail or climb, away from cold air movement and harsh direct sun.
  • Climbing setup: A pole, plank or trellis lets the stems climb and can encourage broader leaves on established vines.
  • Maintenance: Cut long stems above a node to encourage new side shoots; rooted cuttings can be planted back into the pot for denser growth.
  • Growth rate: Growth is usually moderate to fast in warmth, bright indirect light and a loose, evenly managed root zone.

Bare stems, yellow leaves and node pests

  • Leggy growth: Usually linked to low light or long unsupported stems; prune and move to brighter indirect light.
  • Yellow leaves near the base: Check for overwatering, blocked drainage or old compacted substrate.
  • Small leaves on older vines: Add support or prune back to a stronger node if trailing stems have become too long.
  • Brown tips: Look at watering consistency, salt buildup and dry air before changing several conditions at once.
  • Pest clusters at nodes: Inspect under leaves and along stems, especially where vines overlap in a dense hanging pot.

Safety

This heartleaf Philodendron contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Keep it away from pets that chew plants and avoid touching your eyes after pruning or handling cut stems.

Published variety and pointed leaf name

Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium was published as Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium (Schott) Croat in World Checklist and Bibliography of Araceae in 2002. The variety is based on the earlier name Philodendron oxycardium Schott. Philodendron comes from Greek roots for fondness and tree, hederaceum refers to ivy-like growth, and oxycardium combines pointed with heart.

Philodendron hederaceum var. oxycardium brings glossy green heart-shaped leaves to a flexible vine that can stay trailing or climb into broader, more mature growth.

Love this conditioner
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We LOVE this conditioner. It's just the right amount of moisture for our kids' hair. Even does the trick after swim lessons in a pool with chlorine. Smells great without smelling toxic or perfumey. Tangles come right out.

Great Conditioner for Curls
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve used this conditioner 3 times now for my daughter’s hair, and so far, it’s been great! She used to get such bad knots and tangles, but just a small amount of this conditioner works wonders, leaving her hair smooth and healthy looking. I’m giving it 4 stars for now because I haven’t used it long enough to fully assess its effects. The only slight downside is possibly the fragrance. It’s a flowery scent that some people may find off-putting. Personally, I don’t mind it since it’s not overpowering and doesn’t linger. Overall, very happy with it so far!

Clean Ingredients Conditioner for Little Ones
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
As a first time mom I was looking for a clean product to use on my little one. I absolutely love all Babo products on my baby. The ingredients are clean and it also makes my little one’s hair super soft after using there shampoo as well. It really works well and my little one’s hair is super soft and shiny after his hair dries from using this product. My little one has a lot of thick hair after using both the Shampoo and Conditioner from Babo.

Not Fragrance Free
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love the Babo fragrance free lotion and have been looking for a good conditioner. Unfortunately, I was tricked by the "no synthetic fragrances" in the description and being a trusted brand I didn't read the full ingredients. This product does have "natural fragrances" added. Concentrated botanicals & natural substances are not as nature made them and because they are highly concentrated they also cause my family irritation and allergies. The fragrance was pretty strong. I put it in the palm of my hand before I realized it was fragranced. I immediately washed it down the drain, yet it took washing my hands 5 times with soap and finally with shampoo and another soap wash before I could get the scent off my hands. It wasn't even pleasant smelling. It lingered around the bathroom and bedroom for a couple of hours. That said, in the brief time it was on my hands it felt very nourishing and moisturizing like it would be great on dry and brittle hair... just what I was looking for. Just, without the stink. 5 stars for the conditioning power, 1 star (since no zero stars) for the misleading description... average 3 stars. I hope Babo puts out a fragrance free version for those of us that prefer not to smell what may be unpleasant to others or affect those around us negatively.
