Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your philodendron live plant assortment is straightforward, solidifying their reputation as easy care plants. They generally thrive with consistent, moderate attention. For sunlight, philodendrons prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight, which can scorch their leaves. An east-facing window or a few feet away from a south or west-facing window is often ideal. If the leaves start to turn yellow, it might be receiving too much direct light, while small leaves and long stems indicate it’s not getting enough.

When it comes to watering, allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is a common issue for philodendrons and can lead to root rot. Stick your finger into the soil to check moisture levels before watering. They appreciate higher humidity, so misting the leaves occasionally or placing the pots near a humidifier can be beneficial, especially in drier climates or during winter months. For soil, a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture is perfect. A standard indoor potting mix with added perlite or bark will provide the ideal environment for your tropical houseplants. Fertilize your indoor philodendron every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer, diluted to half strength. Reduce or stop fertilizing in fall and winter when growth slows.

Philodendrons prefer temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) and should be protected from drafts and sudden temperature drops. They are generally not cold-hardy and are best grown indoors in most regions, making them ideal tropical houseplants. Pruning can be done to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth, especially for vining varieties. Simply snip off any leggy stems above a leaf node. Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites or mealybugs; wiping down leaves regularly and using insecticidal soap if necessary can help keep your plants healthy. The assortment sent varies with the season, ensuring you receive vibrant and healthy specimens.
