The Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum) is a popular, low-maintenance vining plant known for its glossy, heart-shaped, solid green leaves. It is perfect for adding a lush, tropical feel to any space and makes a fantastic addition to bioactive setups for terrariums, vivariums, or paludariums due to its easy-care nature and ability to thrive in various conditions.

Care Instructions

LIGHT. Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. However, its growth may slow, and the leaves might lose some of their vibrancy in low light. In a bioactive setup, place it near a light source but avoid direct sunlight, which could scorch the leaves.

SOIL. A well-draining, loose soil mix is ideal. A blend of coconut coir, perlite, and orchid bark will help maintain aeration and proper drainage, which is essential for healthy root growth. In a bioactive environment, this mix will also allow decomposers like isopods and springtails to thrive by breaking down organic matter and enriching the substrate.

WATERING. Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Let the top 1-2 inches dry out between waterings. In bioactive setups, the decomposers (springtails and isopods) will help balance moisture levels by consuming excess organic matter, which helps prevent over-watering. Avoid leaving the soil overly wet for extended periods.

HUMIDITY. Being a tropical plant, the Heartleaf Philodendron thrives in high humidity, making it ideal for bioactive setups. Aim to keep humidity levels above 60% to encourage healthy, lush growth.

TEMPS. Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid placing it in drafty areas or areas with cold temperatures to prevent stress.

FERTILIZATION. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks. You can also use our dissolvable Mealworm Frass, produced by our mealworm colonies and enriched with a variety of vegetation, as a nutrient-pumped fertilizer. In the winter, reduce feeding as growth slows down.

Cohabitation with Bioactive Organisms

ISOPODS. Isopods are ideal for a Heartleaf Philodendron setup. These decomposers will break down dead plant matter, fallen leaves, and uneaten food, helping to maintain soil health and nutrient levels. The plant also benefits from the organic material provided by the isopods.

SPRINGTAILS. Springtails are great companions for Heartleaf Philodendron in bioactive setups. They help maintain soil health by consuming mold, fungi, and decaying organic matter. Their constant activity helps keep the environment clean while benefiting the plant by breaking down organic matter into nutrients.

Soil and Maintenance Tips

SUBSTRATE. A loose, well-draining mix is crucial. Use a combination of coconut coir, orchid bark, and perlite to allow for root aeration while ensuring that decomposers have the proper environment to thrive. You can also add a layer of activated charcoal at the bottom for better filtration and odor control.

HUMIDITY CONTROL. If needed, increase humidity by incorporating a shallow water dish or misting lightly once a day. The springtails and isopods will help keep the soil moist, and your plant will benefit from the additional humidity.

TRIMMING. Heartleaf Philodendron grows quickly and can be easily trimmed to maintain a neat appearance or encourage fuller growth. Periodically trim the vines to keep them in shape. You can propagate cuttings in water or soil, which is a great way to expand your collection.

PEST CONTROL. This plant is generally pest-resistant, but in a bioactive environment, springtails and isopods will help control minor pests such as mealybugs or aphids by feeding on their eggs or larvae.


With its vibrant, glossy, heart-shaped leaves, the Heartleaf Philodendron is a beautiful and resilient addition to any bioactive setup. It thrives alongside decomposers like isopods and springtails, which contribute to a healthy, nutrient-pumped environment. By mimicking its tropical habitat with proper humidity, light, and well-draining soil, you’ll create a thriving ecosystem where both your plants and bioactive creatures can flourish.

Full of everything you want
Format: Hardcover
I read this book in two sittings. Ate it up like the delicious Carolina meal that it is. It's only the second MG witch book I have experienced since I am a big fan of contemporary realism. BUT I LOOOOOVED it. What a homer of a debut. We are all Katybird and Delpha, in so many ways. And my lord, it was like reading Tori Amos' childhood soul in some ways (I happen to know too much about her). What a gift to have read this book. Please give it as a gift to ever middle grader you know. Stunning. Well paced, and full of heart and grit. I look forward to more books from Ash. I believe anything they write will be worth my time. I imagine they can write a powerful YA, in addition to MG. Their style lends itself to capturing humanity on many levels. Big fan!

Best danged zombie romps I've ever read!
Format: Hardcover
This is one of the best danged zombie romps I've ever read! From the moment I saw its gorgeous, whimsical cover, I was dying to read Cattywampus! And it. Is. Brilliant. From the animated outhouse to the fascinating folksy setting and the major Elphie/Galinda vibes from MCs Delpha and Katybird, I fell for this story so hard. This is one of my favorite Roaring 20s debuts by far. I never tire of the magic of true friendship! (Or enemies-to-frenemies-to-besties!)

Rival witch families and friendship
Format: Paperback
Read if you like: 🧙‍♀️ Young witches 🌈 Inclusive representation 🤝 Found family & healing 🌲 Small-town magic 2️⃣ POV 📍 A holler in rural North Carolina Cattywampus follows Delpha and Katybird, two girls from rival witch families who are forced into close proximity and slowly begin to form an unlikely friendship. As old grudges and local legends surface, both girls must confront family expectations, hidden truths, and what it really means to belong. This was such a sweet and heartfelt middle grade read. I loved watching Delpha and Katy’s friendship grow, especially given the history between their families. The twist involving Delpha’s father added emotional depth, and the healing that unfolds by the end was really satisfying. Cozy, thoughtful, and grounded in a strong sense of place, this story beautifully balances magic with big feelings and growth.

Sometimes Two Wrongs DO Make A Right!
Format: Hardcover
I devoured this book in a weekend; it's just wonderful. Delpha and Katybird are strong, clever, kick-butt kids with a fantastic circle of caring and colorful characters around them. Cattywampus is a big, spooky, cinematic adventure with its heart in all the right places, and I loved it.
