Common name<\/strong>: Imperial Green Philodendron
Family<\/strong>: Araceae<\/em>
Origin:<\/strong> Central and South America
Climate: <\/strong>Tropical and subtropical
Category<\/strong>: Indoor plant
Altura aproximada<\/strong>: 30cm
Pot diameter<\/strong>: 12cm<\/p>\n
Light<\/strong>: Indirect\/filtered light but also tolerates shadier environments – note that the less light you give it, the less water it will need. Doesn’t tolerate direct sun (it may get scorched).
Temperature<\/strong>: Ideally between 18\u00b0 and 22\u00b0C. Mild and humid environments are ideal as they replicate its natural habitat.
Humidity<\/strong>: As a plant native to tropical rainforests, it appreciates high air humidity. Doesn’t tolerate overly dry environments or very high temperatures.
Watering<\/strong>: Let the substrate dry out almost completely (not just on the surface) before watering again. Watch out for waterlogging: saucers with standing water or decorative pots without drainage holes promote root rot. No standing water!
Soil<\/strong>: Use a lightweight, well-draining, slightly acidic substrate (mixing perlite\/sand into the substrate and expanded clay at the bottom of the pot helps improve drainage).
Fertilization<\/strong>: Fertilize monthly during spring with a fertilizer suitable for green\/indoor plants, following the product label instructions.
Pruning<\/strong>: Removing dry or damaged leaves boosts growth and keeps the plant healthy.
Not Pet-friendly<\/strong>: Can be toxic to pets if ingested, so it’s important to keep it out of reach of curious animals.<\/p>\n
