Care Requirements:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but will tolerate medium and lower-light conditions. Avoid harsh direct sun.

Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep soil evenly moist, but not soggy.

Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions.

Temperature: Enjoys warm conditions between 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Soil: A well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter works best. Adding perlite or orchid bark improves aeration.

Feeding: Fertilize every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Pruning: Trim back long vines to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth.

Pet-Friendly: No. Philodendrons are toxic if ingested by pets or humans.
