Philodendron tortum 4in

A rare strange-looking Philodendron with characteristic thin leaf segments. Can be cared for like most Philodendrons. A great choice for beginners. 

Note: We do our best to package plants so they arrive healthy and happy. Some leaf drop may occur due to shipping stress. Please contact within 7 days if plant arrives in poor health or doesn't show signs of recovery.

CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Well-draining soil and perlite/bark mix. Repot in Spring every 1-2 years when root bound. Can be staked to encourage climbing.

Light: Bright indirect-medium light. South or West facing preferred. 

Water: Water when 2-3 inches of soil is dry.

Temp: Intermediate-warm (60F min night, 85F max day). 

Humidity: 30-50%+, prefers consistent moderately high humidity when good air flow is provided. Tolerant of lower humidity with adequate watering.

Fertilizing: Slow release fertilizer (Osmocote recommended) applied at the beginning of Spring and again in mid-late summer. Alternatively, 1/2 strength soluble 20-20-20 fertilizer applied twice monthly starting in Spring-Summer. Decrease or stop in winter.
