6" Philodendron Split Leaf

$25.99

  1. 1. Give your plant the right amount of light. Split-leaf philodendrons prefer bright indirect light, so any room with a south or east-facing window is a suitable place for your plant. If the leaves of your plant begin to yellow, it may be getting too much direct sun.
  2. 2. Keep your potting soil moist, but not drenched. Overwatering split-leaf philodendrons can lead to root rot and yellow leaves. Use a humidifier near the plant or in the room to keep it from wilting, and mist with a spray bottle for even more moisture.
  3. 3. Be vigilant of pests. While the split-leaf philodendron is immune to most plant pests, mealybugs, aphids, and spider mites are known to appear if the plant is neglected. Spray your plant with a solution of soap and water to ward off pests.
