Philodendron Billietiae 4"

1. Light Requirements

• Prefers bright, indirect light for optimal growth.
• Can tolerate some direct morning light but avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.
•  Low light may cause slower growth and smaller leaves.

2. Watering

•  Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry.
•  Use filtered or distilled water to avoid mineral buildup.
• Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.

3. Humidity & Temperature

• Thrives in 60-80% humidity. If your home is dry, use a humidifier or mist occasionally.
• Ideal temperatures: 65-80°F 
• Keep away from cold drafts, heaters, and AC vents.

4. Soil & Potting

• Use a well-draining, airy mix, such as a blend of peat moss, perlite, orchid bark, and charcoal.
• Repot every 1-2 years when the roots outgrow the pot.

5. Fertilizing

• Feed every 2-4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer (diluted to half strength).
• Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.

6. Pruning & Maintenance

• Trim any yellow or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth.
• Wipe leaves regularly to remove dust and improve photosynthesis.

7. Support & Climbing

• Philodendron Billietiae is a climbing plant, so it benefits from a moss pole, trellis, or stake for support.
• Providing support helps it grow larger, more dramatic leaves.

8. Toxicity

• Toxic to pets and humans if ingested, so keep it out of reach.
