✨ Why You'll Love the Heartleaf Philodendron XL Moss Pole Tower
- Massive size (P27, H150 cm) makes it an instant centerpiece

- Low-maintenance yet impressive — a plant for beginners and collectors alike

🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light but also adapts to medium-light European homes. Avoid harsh direct sun to prevent leaf burn. Place in your living room, office, or entryway as a floor-standing statement plant.
💧 Water & Humidity
Water when the top 3–4 cm of soil is dry. Thanks to its large pot size, the soil retains moisture longer — so water thoroughly but less often. Normal household humidity is sufficient, but misting the moss pole encourages aerial roots to climb and keeps foliage fresh.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a chunky, airy aroid mix with perlite, bark, and coco coir to support its extensive roots. Given its XL size, full repotting is rarely needed — instead, refresh the top layer of soil annually to provide nutrients and maintain aeration.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Not pet-safe. Keep away from cats, dogs, and children, as ingestion may cause irritation.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
This XL moss pole specimen is already mature, producing strong vines and larger leaves. Propagate from stem cuttings if you’d like to create smaller plants, or let it continue climbing for a floor-to-ceiling green wall effect.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Fertilize every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows. Rotate the plant occasionally for even light exposure and symmetrical growth.
🐛 Common Issues
-
Yellowing leaves: Often due to overwatering or poor drainage.
-
Leggy growth: Insufficient light — move closer to a window with indirect light.
-
Brown tips: Caused by dry air or underwatering — mist lightly if needed.
