The Perfect Setup for a Thriving Philodendron
Give your new friend the best start. Philodendrons thrive with proper airflow and support, which is why we recommend pairing them with our specialized products:
- Aroid Pots: Our pots are designed for optimal root health, providing 360° aeration to prevent root rot and encourage strong growth—a common issue for Philodendrons in standard pots.
- Support & Moss Poles: Encourage larger, more mature leaves on your climbing varieties! Providing a moss pole gives them the support they need to reach their full, glorious potential.
- Specialized Aroid Mix: Forget generic potting soil. Our chunky, well-draining aroid substrate provides the perfect balance of moisture retention and aeration that Philodendron roots crave.

Your Comprehensive Philodendron Care Guide
While diverse, most Philodendrons share similar needs. Follow these guidelines for a happy plant:
- Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch their leaves. Many varieties are tolerant of lower light levels, but growth may be slower.
- Water: Water thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. They dislike "wet feet," so ensure your pot has excellent drainage.
- Humidity: Most Philodendrons appreciate average to high humidity (50-70%). Varieties with velvety leaves, like Verrucosum, especially crave higher humidity. Consider a pebble tray or humidifier.
- Soil: A chunky, well-aerated aroid mix is crucial. This prevents compaction and allows roots to breathe.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.
- Acclimatization: After unboxing, place your new plant in a spot with medium light and high humidity for a few days to help it adjust to its new environment. Avoid repotting for at least two weeks.
Important Safety Note: Philodendrons are toxic if ingested. Their sap contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can irritate the mouth and stomach. Please keep them out of reach of pets and small children.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why are my climbing Philodendron's new leaves so small?
This is a clear sign it wants to climb! Vining Philodendrons produce their largest, most impressive leaves only when they can grow upwards. Providing a moss pole or other support will encourage mature leaf development.
What's the difference between a vining and a self-heading Philodendron?
Vining species (like P. hederaceum) produce long stems perfect for climbing or trailing. Self-heading species (like P. 'Birkin') grow upright from a central point, forming a more compact, bushy plant.
What should I do if my plant arrives with a yellow leaf?
A single yellow leaf is often just a sign of shipping stress and is no cause for alarm. Simply trim it off. If multiple leaves are yellowing, check your watering routine and ensure the plant isn't in a drafty spot.
