info
This plant wants water when the top of the soil is dry, but you can still feel moisture just below the surface. This plant will often fall into a once-a-week watering cycle, but remember that your watering should be based on the moisture left in the soil, which will depend partly on the moisture in the room and the weather outside. The soil surface goes a bit deeper for larger pots; for example, a plant in a 14-inch diameter pot should dry out a couple of inches deep before you water it, while a plant in a 4-inch pot will only want to dry out in the top half inch or so of soil.

Growing Notes

This philodendron stays squat with a rounded wide form making a dense mound of many thin, squat stems. This makes it an easy low maintenance option. Papery leaf sheaths at the base of each leaf are easily pulled off once a leaf matures for those who can not resist plucking at their plants!
