Philodendron Scandence

Plant Care

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Tolerates low light but grows slower and may lose some vibrancy.
• Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid letting the soil stay soggy, as it can lead to root rot.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep away from cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Mist the leaves or use a humidifier if needed, especially in dry indoor environments.
• Soil: Well-draining, all-purpose potting mix. A mix with good aeration (like one with perlite) is ideal.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilizing in fall and winter.
• Pruning: Trim leggy vines to encourage bushier growth and maintain its shape. You can also propagate cuttings in water or soil.
• Pests: Susceptible to aphids, spider mites, and mealybugs. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed.
• Toxicity: Toxic to pets if ingested, so keep away from cats and dogs.
