The Florida Green Philodendron is a climbing wonder. Its lobes mature gracefully, showing off charming red-tinted stems. For optimal growth, let it climb a moss pole or trellis. While average household humidity is sufficient, a touch of misting or a humidifier can make it even happier. Monthly fertilizing during spring and summer keeps it in top form. Wipe down the foliage monthly to keep those leaves sparkling clean and photosynthesis-ready.
McDowell’s pleated foliage is a tropical dream. It thrives in higher humidity but will graciously tolerate normal household levels. An occasional misting can be its spa day. With stems growing parallel to the ground, a wide pot is perfect. Take stem cuttings and root them directly in soil for new plants.
Climbing with red hairy stems, Squamiferum is a visual treat. Average household humidity works, but a bit of misting won’t hurt. Let it climb a moss pole for the best show. Monthly fertilization during spring and summer keeps it content. Propagate via stem cuttings for more green joy.
Paraiso Verde boasts lime green foliage with darker green splashes. Fertilize monthly in spring and summer and rotate it for even growth. Philodendrons adore humidity, but this one tolerates a range. Misting is a bonus. Wipe down the leaves monthly for that glossy finish.
Mamei ‘Silver’ shines with stunning silvery variegation. It loves higher humidity but adapts to the norm. A wide pot is ideal for its unique growing pattern. Stem cuttings directly in soil, not water, are the way to go. Monthly fertilizing ensures a happy Mamei ‘Silver.’
Caring Wisdom for All Philodendrons:
Avoid too much direct bright light; it can scorch those lovely leaves. How often to water philodendron? It’s better to underwater than overwater Philodendrons. Keep that soil from getting too soggy.
