Horty Hints
You grow, girl! Increase the bushiness of this plant by pinching out after a leaf node on single stems. This will promote off shoots and more branches, meaning more leaves.
Listen to the leaves! This plant will tell you when it is receiving too much or too little water. Too much and the leaves will yellow and drop, too little and they will brown and shrivel.
Location, Location, Location! These plants will thrive in almost all levels of humidity, however placing them in high humidity environments will encourage larger leaves.
Light
The Sweetheart Plant is versatile. Best in medium light but can tolerate bright light and some degree of shade. Avoid direct sunlight however, as this may scorch the plant.
