10 Hanging Plants That Heal Boring Blank Walls

4. Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendron scandens)

Okay, I’m just going to say it—this plant is the cutest.

I mean, heart-shaped leaves? Come on. It’s like nature made this little green gift just for people who love a little romance in their home decor. And honestly, if you’re into soft, charming touches that don’t scream for attention but still make a space feel warm and personal—you’re gonna fall hard for the Heartleaf Philodendron.

Small Space? No Problem.

I live in a one-bedroom with about 12 inches of windowsill space, so when I found this guy, I was basically in heaven. Unlike some diva plants that need full sun and daily misting, the Heartleaf Philodendron is super chill.

It does just fine in lower light conditions, which makes it perfect for apartments, tiny homes, or even dorm rooms where sunlight is more of a rumor than a guarantee. Mine lives on a bookshelf next to my laptop, and somehow it still looks lush and happy.

I’ve even forgotten to water it for weeks (okay, months)—and still, those heart-shaped leaves keep smiling at me like nothing happened.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving

One of my favorite things about this plant? How easy it is to propagate.

I started with one small pot from a local nursery, and now I have five. How? Just snip a few vines, stick them in water, and wait for roots to grow. Easy peasy. Honestly, it’s kind of addicting once you get the hang of it.

And let me tell you—these little cuttings make the best DIY gifts. I wrapped a few in kraft paper with twine and gave them to friends for birthdays last year. They were thrilled! Especially the ones who are new to plants and don’t want to mess up something fancy.

A Plant for the Generous Soul

If you’re someone who loves sharing your green thumb joy (or just can’t stop collecting plants), this one’s for you.

The Heartleaf Philodendron is a total crowd-pleaser among plant lovers who enjoy sharing cuttings with friends. I’ve given away at least three to coworkers already—and now we all have matching hanging vines above our desks. It’s weirdly bonding.

Plus, the trailing vines look amazing in hanging baskets, tucked into floating shelves, or draped over picture frames for a little botanical flair.
