vilevine

Watering for a Vilevine (Philodendron hederaceum) should be done once every 2 weeks and you should use enough water for the soil to become completely saturated. Let the soil drain and dry out slightly before watering again. During hotter months, you may have to water more often and adjust accordingly. Watering too frequently can cause root rot, so be aware of the amount and frequency.

The vilevine plant species (Philodendron hederaceum) thrives best in partial to full shade locations, receiving indirect sunlight between 4 and 6 hours per day. This plant species does not tolerate direct, strong sunlight and it is best to keep it away from any direct harsh sunlight that could cause the leaves to burn or become discolored. Vilevine plants should be placed near a western or eastern facing window, where it will receive some direct sunlight in the morning and/or late afternoon, but be protected from the hot mid-day sun.

Vilevine (Philodendron hederaceum) is an evergreen, fast-growing climber that requires minimal pruning. It can be pruned just once or twice a year, usually in the spring or summer, to maintain a desired shape. Pruning should be done gently, by trimming off only the longest stems. If needed, any damaged parts of the plant can be trimmed away, but do this with a light touch, as the plant also has a tendency to drop its leaves when pruned too drastically.
