Is Heart Leaf Philodendron Able To Live Outside?

Ask the Expert: can I put my philodendron (arrowhead)? outside for

I have a pretty houseplant vine, i think its called an arrowhead philodendron?, can I put it in a hanging basket outside for the spring/summer months?

Lisa,

You can use this plant outside during the warm months. The Heart leaf Philodendron (Philodendron scandens oxycardium) needs very warm conditions in fact it can not tolerate temperatures under 40 degrees. So if you are going to place it outside make sure that your time temperatures are not going to dip below 40 degrees for an amount of time.

For those of you who don’t know what a Heart leaf Philodendron looks like here is a picture:

  1. Hi All!!

    I recently moved into a new house and have a plant that I am not sure what it is. I am learning my green thumb and not familiar with much species. Could anyone help me out? I have a dog and children, so just want to be familiar. Thanks in advance!

    family

    It sounds to me like it received too much direct light with not enough water.
