Water: As a thumb rule, use the finger dip test to ensure proper watering. Insert your finger about an inch into the soil; if it feels dry, it’s time to water. Water thoroughly but avoid overwatering. Avoid soggy soil. Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally for better growth.

Soil: Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix. Good drainage is important because the roots should have access to moisture without remaining waterlogged.

Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm, sheltered location. Philodendrons generally prefer warm indoor conditions and should be protected from cold drafts. Keep away from cold drafts and extreme heat.

Fertilizer: For 4 or 5 inch size pot, 1 tsp. of given specially prepared home made organic manure per month after 2 months of receiving the plant. If you are using any other fertilizer then please follow the dosage instructions carefully.

Pruning: Regular pruning is not usually necessary. Remove yellow, damaged or unhealthy leaves and trim stems when required to maintain the desired shape and encourage a neat appearance.
