$15
Philodendron hederaceum, the heartleaf philodendron (syn. Philodendron scandens) is a species of flowering plant in the family Araceae, native to Central America and the Caribbean which is common in the houseplant trade. Philodendron hederaceum var. hederaceum, the "velvet philodendron," is a subspecies which is in the houseplant trade under its previous name of Philodendron micans. While toxic under certain conditions, it is also under current review for numerous health benefits.
It is an evergreen climber growing to 3–6 m (10–20 ft), with heart-shaped glossy leaves to 30 cm (12 in) long, and occasionally spathes of white flowers in mature plants. With a minimum temperature requirement of 15 °C (59 °F), in temperate regions it must be grown under glass or as a houseplant. Under the synonym Philodendron scandens it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. P. hederaceum have simple leaves that are arranged in an alternate fashion, meaning single leaves are born on alternating nodes.

P. hederaceum can grow with its roots both in and out of the soil, deeming it a semi-epiphyte. Its uses include ornamental household decoration. It is a popular choice for such display due to its striking green coloration, spiraling, fast growing leaves, and convenient size. P. hederaceum are also easy to maintain, requiring medium sunlight and moist soil. Philodendron hederaceum will eventually grow white flowers (approximately 15 years after planting). Inflorescences are rare; spike inflorescences are the most common when one does appear. They have the capacity to bear fruits as well. Philodendron fruits are typically orange, red, or white berries. Philodendron are particularly skilled at eliminating toxins such as formaldehyde from the air.
