Philodendron 'Little Hope'

Little Hope Philodendron 🌿 has glossy deeply cut leaves and a full tropical shape that gives a room that lush jungle feel without getting as massive as larger split-leaf types. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where it can fill out beautifully on a plant stand, in a living room, or in a bright corner with a little space to spread. This is a generally easy plant that handles average indoor conditions well, as long as it is not kept too wet. Pro tip: if the plant starts looking droopy or yellowing, check the soil first 💧—it usually means it is staying soggy too long.
