Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

The Oxycardium, scientifically known as Philodendron oxycardium, is a tropical evergreen vine prized for its distinctive heart-shaped leaves. Native to the rainforests of Central and South America, it has become a staple in Indian homes due to its adaptability and air-purifying qualities. The plant features glossy, deep green leaves that emerge as delicate heart-shaped structures, gradually maturing into larger, more defined forms. This visual appeal, combined with its easy-care nature, makes it a favorite among both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts in India.
Oxycardium plants thrive in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions, making them versatile for various indoor spaces. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. In Indian homes, east or north-facing windows are ideal as they provide gentle morning light. The plant can also grow well under fluorescent lights, making it suitable for offices. For best results, rotate the plant occasionally to ensure even growth on all sides.
Water your Oxycardium when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. In India's varying climate, this might mean watering every 7-10 days during summer and less frequently in winter. Early morning watering is ideal as it allows the plant to absorb moisture before the heat of the day. The plant appreciates moderate humidity but can adapt to average home conditions. In drier climates or during air-conditioned summers, occasional misting or placing the plant on a pebble tray with water can help maintain humidity levels.
Good news for pet owners! The Oxycardium plant is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs according to the ASPCA. While it's safe to have around pets, it's still best to discourage pets from chewing on any houseplants as ingestion of large amounts could potentially cause mild digestive discomfort. This pet-friendly quality, combined with its air-purifying benefits, makes the Oxycardium an excellent choice for Indian homes with furry companions.
