The Philodendron hederaceum 'Oxycardium Variegata', also known simply as Variegated Heartleaf Philodendron, is a beautiful and easy-to-care-for houseplant. This plant is particularly cherished for its striking variegated foliage that adds a splash of color to any indoor setting. Here’s a detailed description and care guide for Philodendron hederaceum 'Oxycardium Variegata':

Description

Philodendron hederaceum 'Oxycardium Variegata' features heart-shaped, glossy leaves that are variegated with shades of green, white, and sometimes yellow. The variegation patterns are random, with some leaves having more white or yellow than others, making each leaf unique. This philodendron is a trailing or climbing plant, which makes it a great choice for hanging baskets or being trained to climb up a support structure.

Care Guide

Light

This variegated philodendron prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation. It can tolerate lower light levels, but the variegation may become less pronounced, and growth may slow. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves, particularly the more delicate variegated sections.

Water

Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Philodendrons prefer their soil to be kept slightly moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage. During the winter, reduce watering slightly.

Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for aroids. A mix containing peat, perlite, and vermiculite works well by providing adequate drainage while retaining sufficient moisture.

Temperature and Humidity

Philodendron hederaceum 'Oxycardium Variegata' thrives in temperatures between 18 to 27 degrees Celsius and does not tolerate cold drafts. It prefers high humidity but is quite adaptable and can tolerate average household humidity levels. If you notice the leaf tips becoming brown and crispy, increasing humidity through a humidifier or pebble tray can be beneficial.

Fertiliser

Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce fertilization in the fall and winter when growth slows.

Pruning

Regular pruning can help encourage bushier growth and maintain a desired shape. Prune back any leggy stems to promote more robust growth. This can also help the plant to produce more variegated leaves.

Pests and Diseases

Keep an eye out for common pests such as spider mites, mealybugs, and aphids. Regular inspections and cleaning the leaves with a damp cloth can help prevent infestations. If pests are found, treat them promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Philodendron hederaceum 'Oxycardium Variegata' is an excellent plant for beginners and seasoned plant lovers alike due to its forgiving nature and stunning appearance. With minimal care, it can thrive and bring beauty to your indoor spaces for many years.
