Philodendrons make excellent houseplants as they don't mind low light conditions - their large shiny leaves soak up every bit of sunlight that filters through. This makes them great plants for shady understory spots in subtropical and tropical gardens.

They are easy-to-care-for handsome plants that will also clean the air for you. Give their leaves a wipe over with tepid soft water every now and then to keep them looking good and working efficiently.
