🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light but also tolerates medium light conditions. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. Perfect for north- or east-facing windows in German apartments.
💧 Water & Humidity
Keep soil lightly moist, watering when the top 2-3 cm have dried. Loves higher humidity but adapts well to average European indoor climates. Occasional misting helps keep foliage glossy.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining aroid mix with peat-free components if possible. Repot annually or when roots start to peek out of the small nursery pot.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Warning: Philodendrons are toxic to pets and humans if ingested. Place out of reach of curious cats, dogs, and children.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
This baby plant will mature into a larger bushy Philodendron with deeper red tones. Propagation is best done through stem cuttings once the plant is more established.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Growth is most active in spring and summer. Fertilize monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.
🐛 Common Issues
- Yellow leaves → overwatering
- Dry, crispy tips → low humidity
- Pale growth → not enough light
