Philodendron thrive in bright, indirect light indoors. However, too much direct light can cause foliage to burn. If you plan to grow your plant outside for the summer, a nice shady spot will do.

Because Philodendron are aroids, they like a chunky, airy mix. We recommend using, we recommend using Sol Soils House Plant Chunky Mix. This mix includes perlite, pumice, coconut husks, pine bark, and more to achieve the perfect balance of aeration, drainage, and water holding capacity. You can also create your own custom Aroid mix by combining 1 part All Purpose Potting Mix, 1 part Orchid Bark, 1 part Perlite, 1/2 part Charcoal, and 1/2 part Worm Castings.

Check weekly for watering and give a good soak when the first several inches to half of the soil level is dry to the touch. Never allow it to sit in standing water as this can lead to root rot. As always, make sure your pot has a drain hole!

Fertilize with a cactus specific fertilizer (although not a cactus). We recommend Schultz Liquid Cactus Plant Food. As grow slows in the winter months, fertilization may not be needed.

Fertilize in the spring and with active growth with an all-purpose fertilizer. We recommend Schultz All-Purpose Liquid Plant Food. Cut fertilizer routine in half in the fall and winter.

Philodendron Lickety Split is not pet safe and is toxic to our furry friends.
