Ah, the Philodendron Cordatum Heartleaf! It's a classic and popular houseplant choice. The heart-shaped leaves of this Philodendron variety make it quite charming. Here are some care tips for your Philodendron Cordatum Heartleaf:

1. Lighting: Place your Philodendron Cordatum Heartleaf in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but it will thrive and grow best in bright, filtered light.

2. Watering: Water your Philodendron Cordatum Heartleaf when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Be careful not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

3. Humidity: Philodendron Cordatum Heartleaf enjoys higher humidity levels, but it can adapt to average household humidity. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing a tray of water nearby.

4. Temperature: Keep your Philodendron Cordatum Heartleaf in a room with temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations.

5. Soil: Plant your Philodendron Cordatum Heartleaf in well-draining soil. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and regular potting soil works well. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

6. Fertilizer: Feed your Philodendron Cordatum Heartleaf with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half-strength every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in the winter months.

7. Pruning: Prune your Philodendron Cordatum Heartleaf to remove any dead or yellowing leaves. You can also trim it to shape or encourage bushier growth.
