Growing conditions:
- lighting: Brazilian Philodendron can grow with a lack of light, but the brightest color of the leaves will appear in bright diffused sunlight. With a critical lack of light, it significantly slows down the growth or even stops to grow.
- watering: keep the soil moist, but don’t water too much in order to prevent the plant from decay of root system. Use settled water of room temperature.
- fertilizing: feed the plant during growing season once in two-three weeks.
- nuances: the plant prefers humid atmosphere, that is why make sure to moisturize the leaves especially during cold season, when the air is too much dry for the plant. The temperature for normal growing should be between 59°F and 77°F all the year.Cutting Only :
Plant Cutting propagation can be done in water or soil, but once it begins, the plant has difficult switching to the other growing medium.
If you place the cutting in water, the plant should remain in water once it grows larger. The same goes for a cutting propagated in the soil.
It is normal for your cutting to shed a few leaves over time, but if you are seeing increased leaf loss, there might be an underlying problem.
If your cutting plant has distorted leaf growth, this may be due to nutrient and/or light deficiencies, insect infestations, or too little water. Mealybugs and scale often take up residence on the plant, and can be removed with an alcohol-soaked cotton ball.
If the cutting plant leaf tips are turning brown, this is a sign of low humidity. To solve this problem, you can lightly spray your plant with water or place it in a room with a humidifier.
Bare Root Only :
Soil: Lightweight, well-aerated, fast-draining growing medium
Container: Use a small sized pot that keeps the roots tightly packed; Drainage holes are a must
Light: Although this plant will survive in low light conditions, bright indirect sunlight is best
Temperature: Daytime 70 F (21 C) and above, nighttime 60-65 F (16-18 C)
Humidity: Higher humidity than average household levels (40-60 percent)
Watering: Water when the soil is almost dry during growth phase, infrequently during winter
Fertilizing: Feed monthly with diluted water-soluble fertilizer only in spring and summer
Potted plant Only :
DO NOT WATER YOUR PLANT for at least 2-3 days.
DO NOT RE-POT for at least 6-8 weeks.
Your plant Needs to settle and acclimate. Some leaves might drop or turn yellow.
Happy Planting :)
