Philodendrons make great houseplants thanks to their generally low-maintenance nature, but it's still important to maintain proper growing conditions to keep your plant healthy. Care for your philodendron by aiming to mimic its natural tropical environment: Provide plenty of warmth and moisture near a sunny window. During warm weather, put philodendron houseplants outside in a shady spot to get some fresh air and natural light on occasion.

Light:

This species typically grows best in partial sunlight. Philodendrons need sun, but they would naturally receive dappled light under a tropical canopy rather than direct light. Indoors; set them up by a window that gets bright, indirect light. Too little light can result in leggy growth with lots of space in between the leaves. But too much light can cause many of the leaves to turn yellow at the same time. (Only a few leaves yellowing is typically just normal aging.)


Soil:

Philodendrons like loose potting soil that’s rich in organic mat
