    One of my favorite Philodendrons, an easy grower for me that does well in bright or low light situations (no direct sun) with the soil kept barely moist but not soaking wet. I love the soft velvety heart shaped leaves on this particular Philodendron.

Success with the plant attaching to the pygmy date palm and adjusting itself to grow out of the spot where there is some direct sun. Smart plant. Removed some leaves.
