Plant Care

Light Requirements: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can scorch the large leaves.

Water Requirements: Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy. Allow the top 1–2 inches to dry slightly before watering again.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

Soil: Use a chunky, well draining aroid mix containing potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below about 60°F.

Pet Safety: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity.

Growth Habit: A beautiful terrestrial Philodendron with large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves and prominent pale veins. Unlike many climbing Philodendrons, it grows along the soil surface from a creeping rhizome.
