This plant is beautiful and easily propagated. My mother plant has several leaves on it that are quite large. It roots easily in water, but I can never seem to get the large leaves and stems to root.

This is a small leafed Philodendron with heart shaped leaves that are broadly variegated with yellow and green.

This easy to grow philodendron luxuriates in zone 10. It is very hardy and fast growing.

Positive NativePlantFan9 On Mar 4, 2005, NativePlantFan9 from Boca Raton, FL (Zone 10a) wrote:

This is an attractive hybrid of Philodendron scandens spp. oxycardium, or Heart-leaf Philodendron, a popular species that is very commonly grown indoors with all-green, heart-shaped leaves. This variety cultivar has dark green leaves with lighter, lime-green or yellowish or lighter green splotches or stripes.

This variety, like the common non-variegated P. scandens spp. oxycardium, is very useful for growing indoors as a houseplant. It is a vining spp. like P. scandens spp. oxycardium.

As for growing outside, this variety may possibly survive in zones 10b through 11. The common non-variegated P. scandens spp. oxycardium, meanwhile, may survive outdoors possibly in zones 10a through 11.
