Philodendron Selloum care guide

Light:

Thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light. Avoid prolonged direct sun, which may scorch the leaves.

💦 Watering:

Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry. Reduce watering in cooler months.

🌡 Temperature & Humidity:

Prefers warm temperatures between 1828°C. Loves humidity but adapts well to normal indoor conditions. Misting or a pebble tray can help in dry environments.

🌱 Soil & Repotting:

For optimal drainage and healthy roots, you can use our Aroid Mix. Alternatively, create your own mix using Barks Unlimited Potting Soil combined with Perlite. Repot every 12 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. When repotting, adding Bark Chips helps improve aeration and drainage.

🌿 Fertilizing:

Feed with a Controlled Release Fertilizer for steady nutrients over six months. For an organic boost, use TerraPlus Natura N.

Pruning & Maintenance:

Trim off any yellow or damaged leaves to encourage new growth. Clean leaves occasionally to remove dust and maintain their glossy appearance.

🐛 Pests & Issues:

Resistant to most pests but can occasionally attract spider mites, aphids, or mealybugs. Treat infestations with an insecticidal spray if needed. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage.
