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.
How to plant philodendron correctly
Carefully remove the purchased philodendron from the shipping pot, trying to preserve the earthen ball and not damage the roots.
In a new pot with drainage holes, place expanded clay in a layer of 2-3 cm, replant the plant, fill the voids with fresh soil, and install a support in the center. Pour in settled water.
What does the philodendron flower like
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.
The ideal temperature is 18 - 22 C.
Dusty, dry leaves significantly worsen air exchange, so regular warm showers are one of the important rules of care.
How often to water a philodendron
Water the philodendron when the top layer of soil in the pot dries out noticeably.
In the summer, the plant is watered abundantly, but an hour later it is necessary to drain excess water from the pan.
In winter, accordingly, watering is reduced.
Water for irrigation is taken boiled or settled.
