The Broken Heart Plant, is a stunning piece of green beauty that captivates with its unique, heart-shaped foliage. Known for its delicate yet striking appearance, this plant is native to West Africa and is a favorite among gardeners for its dramatic foliage, making it an ideal addition to gardens, patios, and indoor spaces.

Care Tips:

1. Light: The Broken Heart Plant prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight may scorch its delicate flowers and foliage, so a shaded area or filtered light is ideal.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained. Avoid overwatering, as the plant is susceptible to root rot. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
3. Temperature: This tropical plant thrives in warm environments, with an optimal temperature range of 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C). It should be protected from cold drafts and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
4. Humidity: The Broken Heart Plant thrives in moderate to high humidity. Indoor plants may benefit from occasional misting or placement near a humidifier to promote healthy growth.
5. Pruning: Regular pruning helps maintain the plant’s shape, encourages new growth, and can prevent it from becoming too leggy. Remove spent flowers and trim any overgrown vines to keep it looking neat.
6. Soil: The plant prefers well-draining, loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. A general-purpose potting mix works well, but ensure there is adequate drainage in pots to avoid waterlogging.
