Philodendron likes slightly moist soil in spring and summer, although the plant is sensitive to too much water.

Maintain moisture; the soil in the pot should not dry out.

Philodendron grows well in semi-shaded areas, so avoid direct sunlight.

Where should the plant be

Unless your philodendron is a shade-loving species or one that can tolerate less light, consider it a plant that needs good light.

It is in such places that most species of these plants best reveal their beauty.

How to grow philodendron correctly

Spraying and humidity. Philodendron prefers air humidity of about 70%.

It is recommended to spray the plant 1-2 times a week or wipe the leaves with a damp sponge.

Dusty, dry leaves significantly worsen air exchange, so regular warm showers are one of the important rules of care.

What happens if you prune a philodendron

When pruning, be careful not to damage any new growth that may appear at the base of the plant.

These parts cannot be regenerated and pruning can increase the plant's ventilation and promote growth.

Any pruning of this plant should be done directly along the blades or stems.
