Philodendron Care

Philodendrons make ideal houseplants thanks to their generally low-maintenance nature, but it's still important to provide proper growing conditions to keep your plant healthy. Here are the main care requirements for growing a philodendron:

• Place in a spot with bright but indirect light near a sunny window.
• Plant in slightly acidic, well-draining potting mix.
• Water when the top inch of soil has dried out. Moisture needs vary between the philodendron species.
• Provide a warm, humid environment.
• Regularly wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to free them from dust.
• Feed with a liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season.
