A healthy houseplant for you, or a thoughtful gift for that eco-conscious friend!

Give the gift of clean air with a beautiful, air-filtering houseplant. This plant was included as part of the NASA Clean Air Study or subsequent studies completed by other air quality scientists. These Clean Air Plants can filter toxins from the air, some of which may include benzene, formaldehyde, and trichloroethylene.

Philodendron cordatum, also commonly known as the Heartleaf Philodendron, is a trailing vine with easily identifiable heart-shaped leaves. The leaves are sometimes accented by a light stripe along the center in the ‘Brasil’ cultivar. This plant is a popular indoor houseplant due to its ease of care. It thrives both as a climbing or hanging vine. 

This plant comes in an attractive Eco-Friendly Biodegradable Rice Hull Pot with Saucer that is both long-lasting and safe for the environment. The pot and saucer will last up to 10 years with normal indoor use and will break down into nutrient-rich organic matter when composted.
