Heartleaf philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum) is an evergreen climbing and trailing vine native to Mexico and tropical Central and South America, grown as a houseplant for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves. It climbs or trails up to 4 m,1 tolerates low light, and is one of the most common indoor foliage plants. All parts contain calcium oxalate crystals that irritate the mouth and skin if chewed or handled, and it is considered toxic to cats, dogs, and children.1
