water info |
Philodendrons are more tolerant of drought than their tropical appearance would suggest. Once they’re established, they can even survive in a shady spot without additional water, though the leaves will be fewer and smaller, giving them a little crown instead of a big lush crown. To keep them looking their best, give them water every week or two once established, or more if they are inland or in some sun. Drooping leaves or a small crown with dwarfed leaves are signs of underwatering. |
