Care Instructions:

• Light Conditions☀️
  Philodendrons prefer bright, indirect light.
  They can tolerate lower light, but growth may be slower and leaves might become smaller.
  Intense, direct sun can scorch the leaves and should be avoided.
  Rotate the plant regularly to ensure all sides receive equal light and prevent it from leaning towards the light source.
  
• Watering💧
  Water when the top few centimetres of the soil feel dry to the touch.
  Philodendrons are sensitive to overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
  Water less frequently during the cooler winter months when the plant's growth slows.
  Allow any excess water to drain away.
  
• Humidity💦
  Philodendrons appreciate high humidity levels.
  Brown leaf tips can be a sign of low humidity.
  If you need to increase your humidity levels you can use a humidifier or you could consider regularly misting your plant with luke warm water if the indoor air is dry.
  You can also place your plant on a tray of pebbles and water to increase the humidity levels.
  
• Temperature🌡️
  Philodendrons prefer warm, consistent temperatures, ideally between 18-24°C
  Ensure temperatures don't drop below 13°C for prolonged periods.
  Avoid cold draughts, air conditioners or heaters as this plant is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.
  
• Fertilising🌱
  Feed regularly during the growing season (spring and summer, typically April to October) with a balanced liquid fertiliser every month.
  Stop fertilising during the winter months.
  
• Additional Care➕
  Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.
  Repot every 2-3 years, or when root bound, in well-draining soil to accommodate growth and refresh nutrients.
  Remove any dead, yellowing, or damaged leaves with clean tools to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage healthier growth.
