Common Philodendron in Central & South America - Very easy to care for

Philodendron hederaceum, the climbing plant, is a climbing plant of the Philodendron genus that occurs naturally in large parts of South and Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. This is the most popular houseplant in the Philodendron genus and a hardy, easy-care plant with beautiful light green, heart-shaped leaves.

The plant is a climber that can grow 3-6 meters tall with shiny heart-shaped leaves that can be up to 30 centimeters long. In young specimens, the leaves often have a burgundy underside and a velvety texture, which sometimes leads to the plant being sold as " Philodendron micans ". As the plant matures, both the red underside and the velvety texture often disappear.

The climbing plant can decorate a shelf a little way into the room or hang and dangle in a hanging basket. Long tendrils grow quickly and create a spiraling, exotic effect.

Botanical description

The name Philodendron comes from the Greek "Philo" (love) and "dendron" (tree), which refers to the plant's habit of climbing upwards, usually up tree trunks.

Philodendron hederaceum was described to science in 1829 and has since been given many synonymous names such as Philodendron scandens (1853), Philodendron micans (1854) and Philodendron oxycardium (1856). Although collectors consider these to be different species, botanists consider them to be the same plant. According to the rules of botany, the first published name is the accepted one, making Philodendron hederaceum the correct name.

The plant is widespread from sea level to 1200 meters, possibly as high as 1500 meters. In the Caribbean it occurs in the southeastern islands from Martinique south to Trinidad. In South America it extends from Bolivia and Peru west along the Los Ríos Province near the coast of Ecuador and up through Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil.

As a hemiepiphytic liana , P. hederaceum can begin life as a seed on the ground that then climbs a tree, or as a seed placed on a tree branch in bird droppings. The plant can grow with its roots both in and out of the soil, making it a semi-epiphyte.

There is great natural variation within the species. The leaves can be broadly heart-shaped and subcoriaceous to coriaceous (leathery). The leaf blade is quite thin, especially in young leaves. Mature leaves in the wild can measure 11-40 centimeters long and 8-49 centimeters wide. When the plant is allowed to climb high in the rainforest, it can eventually produce inflorescences with greenish flower spikes that are red to purple on the inside.

Care

The climbing rose thrives in both shade and light, but avoids direct sunlight. It appreciates heat and can handle dry air, but spray irrigation of the leaves from time to time is appreciated.

Water moderately 1-2 times a week depending on the season and location. Keep the soil slightly moist but not wet. The species grows best in very porous soil that drains quickly. A mixture of orchid bark, perlite and possibly finely chopped sphagnum moss works great. You can find all these products on the 'soil' tab in the menu. We recommend this soil.

For best results, give the plant a moss stake or trellis to climb on. The higher the support, the larger the leaves can grow. The brighter the location, the larger the leaves will be. A grow light is good to use in dark rooms or during winter.

Climbing rose is easy to propagate by cuttings. Take a cutting below a node on the vine and place at least two nodes in porous soil and keep moist in a moderately bright location. You can also root the cutting in water, but rooting in soil often speeds up the process.

Why different names?

You may see climbing calla sold under many different names such as Philodendron scandens, P. micans, P. oxycardium or P. Brasil. This is because the species is very variable in appearance depending on its age and where it is grown. Young plants may have velvety, reddish leaves (sold as " micans "), while others have yellow-green leaves (sold as " Brasil "). As the plant matures, these colors often fade and the leaves turn dark green.

To botanists, all of these variations are the same species, Philodendron hederaceum, because they share the same scientific characteristics. Variation within species is natural and corresponds to how people look different but are still the same species.

Warning: Contains calcium oxalate crystals and is toxic to both humans and animals. Keep away from pets and children. If swallowed, may cause oral irritation, swelling, vomiting and difficulty swallowing.

DO NOT BUY.
Update: Amazon refunded me the price of the mattress as I can’t really send it back now that it isn’t compressed and we do not live anywhere near a UPS store. I reached out to the seller as it is listed as having a 5 year warranty. The seller has so far only initially offered me a 10% refund, so not honoring their warranty at all. I have refused this and asked for either a full replacement or a replacement section for the one that is defective. We will see if they stand by their warranty! The package came SO compressed that one of the foam inserts never recovered. We opened it according to instructions, let it sit for 72 hours, and edges of foam were all so stuck together they did not rise properly. I had to take every piece out of both covers, manually pull apart the edges, and then let it rise again. We tried everything to get the third insert to be like the others- put it in a warm environment, put it in the bathroom where there is some more damp air, and still isn’t like the other two. It feels different as well- softer than the other two pieces. It’s like it is a totally different foam. It doesn’t fill out the cover completely and it is consequently very uncomfortable and not useable as one whole section is softer and thinner than the rest. I would like to return it but not sure how now that it is not compressed. Would not buy this product again. Very frustrating.

Firm but not hard
Color: Grey, Size: 4inch-Tw"
I sleep on this on the floor about 50% of the time because it’s so much more comfortable than my actual mattress. It doesn’t leave me with back or hip pain, it doesn’t sink so you never feel the ground like with an air mattress. It folds up to store under my real bed or I can fold in into a chair if I need. I did have to use a hair dryer to fluff up a few of the corners because they were taking a long time after opening but that’s to be expected.

Good mattress for company
Color: White, Size: S06-Single
This mattress is great for when you have a crowd coming to visit. It's easy to move around and it's pretty comfortable. I took it camping and slept well. It's not great as a chair unless you lean the back against a wall. Single bed sheets fit on it nicely.

Very faint smell for two days, but did not disturb my sleep.
I am 120 lbs and this feels to me more of a medium firm foam. It is very comfortable for laying on my back, but it hurts my hips when I lay on my side for a while. The cover is nice and velvety, and looks to be sturdy. It had a slight smell for two nights, but very faint enough that I was able to sleep on it the day it was delivered. The smell never woke me up, as the smell was very faint. The foam expanded to full size all over within hours, and has no uneven places.

it’s a good little bed for if your ina pinch but it produces moisture whenever it’s in a cold room so it could attract mold eventually just a fair warning
