My little baby plant

My little heartleaf philodendron ( Philodendron scandens), may also be known as Parlor Ivy, is one of the most common house plants because it can withstand neglect and still thrive. Clean sunlight is best for the philodendron, but it can tolerate very low amounts of light. When it comes to temperature, during the day it preferes 75 to 85 degrees F and at night 65 to 70 degrees F is best. It should be watered frequently enough to keep the water moist, but not soaked. High levels of humidity are best, but it can, of course, tolerate lower amounts as well. All in all my plant is a fighter.
