Start Your Plant Mom Era with These 10 Hanging Beauties

8. Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendron scandens)

Let me tell you about the plant that basically winked at me from across the nursery—the Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendron scandens). I picked it up on a whim because, hello, heart-shaped leaves? That’s just cute.

But what I didn’t expect was how quickly it would become my favorite fast-growing indoor vine, bringing lush greenery and a little bit of love into my space.

Love at First Sight 💖🌿

There’s something so sweet about those iconic heart-shaped leaves—they’re soft, glossy, and somehow feel like nature’s way of giving you a hug. I hung mine by a window in my home office, and now every time I glance over, I get this warm, fuzzy feeling like I’m being cheered on by my leafy friend.

I’ve even gifted a few to friends with notes like, “Grow with me,” because honestly, these plants are all about symbolizing growth, connection, and care. Plus, they make for adorable housewarming or friendship gifts!

Lights On, Let’s Grow 💡🌱

One thing I really appreciate is how adaptable to various lighting conditions this plant is. Whether it’s near a bright window or tucked into a slightly dim corner, it keeps on thriving.

Mine lived in a north-facing bathroom for a while—low light, high humidity—and it still kept its shine. Then I moved it to a sunnier spot, and guess what? It started trailing like crazy. Talk about a flexible little green machine.

Here’s what I’ve found:

• Does well in medium to bright indirect light
• Tolerates low-light spaces if needed
• Just don’t stick it in full sun—it’ll throw a fit

It’s the kind of plant that rolls with whatever life throws at it.

Fast-Growing Green Magic 🌱✨

If you want to see results fast, this is your plant. Unlike some slowpokes I could name, the Heartleaf Philodendron grows. And grows. And grows.

Within a few weeks of hanging it up, I noticed new leaves popping out almost daily. The vines stretched toward the light like they were trying to photobomb my wall art. I started training them along a floating shelf and now I’ve got this lush curtain of green that makes my whole room feel alive.

If you’re into beginner-friendly hanging plants, love quick-growing indoor vines, or just want something that brings a little botanical love into your space, this one’s a total gem.
