One of the easiest philodendrons to care for! Native to the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. Needs a bit more water than other philodendrons, so water lightly when the top layer of soil is dry to the touch. Thrives in bright indirect light and high humidity. It's a great plant for terrariums where its soft velvety leaves can stay small or if allowed to climb in a tropical garden or as a houseplant on a moss pole it will become a larger plant that will fascinate you with its various leaf shapes as it matures. One of the coolest features about this philodendron is that leaves can turn pink in bright light.

Light: It prefers bright, indirect light. It will, however, survive in lower light and the leaves will turn a darker . Direct sun or too much light will burn or fade the leaves.

Humidity: Normal household humidity is fine , but higher humidity encourages larger leaves. Your plant will benefit from regular misting.

Temperature: Your plant will grow well in temperatures between 65-80 degrees during the day and above 55 degrees at night. Keep it away from drafts, especially during the winter months.

Food: Feed once a month during spring and summer with a liquid fertilizer for indoor plants. Feed every other month during the fall and winter.

Toxicity: Philodendron leaves are toxic to pets and humans.
