Plant-A-Day 2020 (Day 350) Philodendron cordatum variegata

Another houseplant that Leon purchased, this plant is newer–maybe just a year now. It is a controlled vine with shiny and variegated foliage. It was chosen specifically for an umbrella holder Leon bought several years ago that makes a great pot for trailing plants.

I believe my Mom used to keep a green clone of P. cordatum in glass jars in a brass birdcage when I was growing up. It survived even when the water wasn’t changed out often–a very accommodating plant.

I have two sconce-like planters in my workplace office and I might propagate this plant to grow in those next year. It seems like a simple solution to what to grow on a wall in a pot with no drainage.
