Split-leaf Philodendron Plant

Growing Environment

• Best Suited for Indoor Growing: Split-leaf philodendrons thrive in bright, indirect light indoors.
• Outdoor Option: Can be grown outdoors in warm, humid climates, preferably in partial shade.

Light Requirements

• Optimal Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some shade.
• Tip: Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn.

Watering

• Frequency: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, generally every week or so.
• Method: Water thoroughly, allowing excess to drain to prevent root rot.

Humidity Needs

• Ideal Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity levels, around 50-60%.
• Tip: Increase humidity by misting the leaves or using a humidity tray.

Fertilizing

• Type: Use a balanced houseplant fertilizer.
• Frequency: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
• Tip: Reduce fertilizing in the winter months.

Air Circulation
