🌿 General Philodendron Care

1. Light:

• Prefers bright, indirect light.

• Tolerates low light but grows slower.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.

2. Water:

• Water when the top inch of soil is dry.

• Avoid overwatering—let the soil dry slightly between waterings.

• Drooping leaves can mean over or under-watering.

3. Humidity:

• Loves moderate to high humidity.

• Mist occasionally or use a humidity tray or humidifier.

4. Soil:

• Use well-draining potting mix—a blend with peat, perlite, or orchid bark is ideal.

5. Temperature:

• Thrives in 65–80°F (18–27°C).

• Keep away from cold drafts or heaters.

6. Fertilizer:

• Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Cut back feeding in fall and winter.

7. Pruning:

• Trim back leggy growth to keep it bushy.

• Remove yellow or damaged leaves.

8. Repotting:

• Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot.
