The Philodendron is part of the Araceae family, native to South-American tropical climates. This type of Philodendron is a hybrid and gets its name from the fact that its leaves go from starburst yellow when they first emerge, to copper then darker shades of green as it matures.MAINTENANCE

The Philodendron requires a luminous environment to be happy indoors, just like the Philodendron Monstera Deliciosa. It should be watered when the first third of its soil is dry. The watering frequency may vary depending on the season and the humidity level of the room where it is set.

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.
