The origin of the Philodendron lies in the rainforest of Central and South America. In addition to the beautiful appearance of the Philodendron from KARMA, she is also undemanding, but it is useful to know what the best growing conditions are. She grows best in a semi-shady spot and you will see that she stays happy. She also doesn’t mind if you forget to water her once.

The best location |

The philodendron doesn’t make much of a fuss about where it stands in the room. They are semi-shaded plants, so they can also grow in places with slightly less light. Avoid direct sunlight and also keep them away from drafts and do not place them too close to a warm radiator.

Tip: By turning your philodendron a quarter turn every two weeks, it will get even and sufficient light and you will prevent it from growing crooked.

Watering |

The philodendron is a beautiful and easy houseplant to care for. Watering depends on the time of year, location, but also how big the plant is. If the top soil layer is dry, it will like some water, but if it still feels damp, wait a little longer. The WaterWick system is the solution for not giving too much or too little water!

Spraying |

Spray the plant with water once a month. This helps keep the plant healthy. It is especially important to do this in the winter months with the heating on, because the humidity is often on the low side.

Yellow leaf |

With yellow tips on the leaf, the philodendron gets too much sunlight and it is best to move it to a less sunny spot.

Brown leaf |

If your philodendron has brown leaf edges, it is getting too much or too little water. Please note, it is better to water a little more often than to give a whole shoot of water at once.

Repotting |

If your philodendron grows from the growing pot, you can repot it. Repotting the plant is therefore very important if you want the plant to grow further in height and width. Below we give a few tips that you can best adhere to for a beautiful continued growth of the plant.

1. Repot in the spring, this is the most vigorous period and any damaged roots can recover more quickly.
2. The new pot should be 20% larger, so not too big or too small.
3. Use universal potting soil for houseplants.
4. Supplement the plant with some food for a nice kickstart!
