philodendron
Tropical indoor vine
Philodendron is a genus of tropical plants popular as houseplants, known for their large, glossy, heart-shaped or deeply lobed leaves.
They're prized for tolerating low light and neglect: The philodendron in my office hasn't been watered in weeks and it's still thriving.
Some varieties climb; others grow in bushy clumps.
