# Why? This is my second time trying to keep a Red Heart Philodendron…

_Posted by Borg Family Plants on 2025-09-22_

Why? This is my second time trying to keep a Red Heart Philodendron happy.. Is there any pleasing this plant? Good soil, good light, water by the teaspoon until she’s just right (kidding of course, but very careful with water). Can anyone give me advice on this beautiful plant?

Thank you!

She’s beautiful. One of my wishlist plants. Many of my dark leaf philodendrons do not like it too bright. Maybe too much light??

Hi Tracy, thanks again for the advice, I moved my Red Heart to less light and she is doing much better!! 2 new leaves since the end of Sept. I appreciate your help!

That is great to hear! I finally got me a baby red heart myself!! So excited to see her grow!

Thank you Tracy, I will try moving her to a little less light. 🤞
