Philodendrons are fast-growing, easy plants. They range in growth pattern from graceful and vining to bold and bushy. Philodendrons are generally forgiving and will tolerate all kinds of neglect including low light, poor soil, and inconsistent watering.
-
Light - Your Philodendron can survive in low light conditions, but grows faster and produces more leaves in medium or bright indirect light. The variegation will be more visible in higher light. Avoid putting it in direct sunlight since the sun will burn the foliage. If you notice many of the leaves turning yellow at the same time, it can mean that you are giving the plant too much direct light or it can also mean that it needs more light. The key is to be observant to your plant.
-
Water - Water your Philodendron well and allow the top of the soil to dry before watering again. Yellow leaves may indicate over watering, while brown leaves mean the plant needs more water.
-
Humidity - Basic household humidity is fine for your Philodendron, but higher humidity encourages larger leaves. Your plant will benefit from the occasional misting.
Tips: When you see any dead, discolored, damaged, or diseased leaves and stems, cut them with scissors to avoid tearing or bruising the stems. Snip stems just above a leaf node.
