Product Overview
As with most sub–tropical jungle plants Philodendron thrive in bright, indirect light, this mimics sun light through the jungle canopy. They easily adapt to semi-shade but growth will be slightly slower. Must avoid direct Summer sun as the leaves will scorch.
From Spring until late Summer water thoroughly, about once a week, then allow the top 2 inches of compost to dry out before watering again. If kept in shade it may take a little longer to dry, so don`t be hasty, it`s best to be a little cautious to avoid overwatering. If possible use rainwater, or tap water that has been allowed to stand for 24 hours.
Room temperatures between 18-25c are fine.
Fertilise regularly through Spring and Summer , once every 2-3 weeks, with a half strength balanced liquid feed.
During the colder months in heated rooms increase the humidity around your plant. Group together with other plants, stand on a tray of moist gravel, or occasional misting will increase the moisture in the air around your plant.
Allow to grow until it reaches the maximum size that space allows, you can then prune them to remain that size.
Make the most of the plant by keeping the leaves clean and dust free by wiping with a soft damp cloth.
Minimum Temp: 16c
