MAINTENANCE

The Philodendron  appreciates a warm and humid environment where good indirect light prevails. This easy-care philodendron appreciates slightly humid soil, but reacts unfavorably to overwatering which leads to soggy soil. It will require a drink when the first third of the pot is dry.

When you take possession of your plant, make sure you assess its watering needs. Before you give it a drink the first time, check the soil’s moisture level to verify whether or not it is moist near the surface. It is best to aerate the soil before the initial watering since it is often compacted to avoid shifting during transit. This also allows it to breathe and release moisture.

Rotate your plant periodically in order to encourage an even growth. Cleaning the leaves regularly will stimulate proper photosynthesis. As you wipe the foliage, inspect the leaves on either side to make sure there are no pests.
