Getting to know the Sweatheart Creeper
Sweatheart Creepers (Philodendron scandens oxycardi) can be identified by their unique heart-shaped leaves. They are fast-growing climbers and one of the most popular foliage plants used as room or conservatory decor. This plant is adaptable, tolerates low levels of light for long periods, and thrives in summer or winter room temperatures.

Step by step to making your macramé masterpiece:
Step 1.
Begin your DIY macramé plant hanger by cutting the pieces of the cottob macramé cord. You will need four, 2-meter cords and two, 30 cm long cords.
Step 2.
Fold the four, 2-meter cords in half and loop it through the bass ring.
Step 3.
Next, secure your cords in place by using the wrapped or ring knot. This is a simple knot that has a sophisticated, finished look. You will need your 30 cm piece of cord for this knot.
How to tie a wrapped, looped knot
- Place the short cord over the looped cords with the short tail to the left, the loop pointing down, and the long tail to the right.
- Wrap the long tail around the looped cords and around the loop of the short cord.
- Continue wrapping the long tail, pulling it tight and leaving the bottom loop of the short cord uncovered.
