Philodendron selloum is a popular indoor plant renowned for its dramatic, large, deeply lobed leaves. It’s native to Brazil and can grow quite large, with its leaves sometimes reaching up to 3 feet in length.
Care Tips:
-
Light: It thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
-
Water: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant's growth slows down.
-
Humidity: It prefers higher humidity but can adapt to average indoor conditions. You can increase humidity by misting the plant or placing a humidifier nearby.
-
Temperature: It enjoys warm temperatures, ideally between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep it away from sudden temperature changes.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of potting soil with perlite or orchid bark.
-
Fertilizer: Feed it with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
-
Repotting: Repot when the plant outgrows its container, usually every 1-2 years.
