Philodendron

What’s not to like about philodendrons? Their name is derived from the Greek words philo-, which means “love,” and dendron — the word for “tree.” Most types of Philodendrons can tolerate dark corners and very little watering. “They like to be on the dry side,” says Sharon Nejman, Senior Horticulturist at Chicago Botanic Garden, so don’t fill the watering can more than once per week.
