Light

Prefers bright, indirect light but adapts well to medium light. Avoid harsh direct sun, which may scorch the foliage.

Water

Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering again. Philodendrons dislike staying too wet — ensure a well-draining mix and never let the pot sit in standing water.

Humidity & Temperature

Enjoys normal household humidity but thrives even more with slightly elevated humidity. Keep between 65–85°F. Avoid cold drafts.

Soil

Use a well-draining mix containing bark, perlite, and high-quality potting soil — similar to an aroid mix that promotes airflow around the roots.

Growth Habit

Upright, bushy, and full. A fast grower when given consistent care, rewarding you with large, glossy new leaves.

Pet Safety

Philodendrons may be toxic if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.
