Philodendron Summer Glory 8"

🌞 Light

• Loves bright, indirect light. Think near a window with filtered sunlight.

• Too little light = slower growth and less vibrant coloring.

• Avoid direct sun—it can scorch those velvety leaves.

💧 Water

• Keep the soil evenly moist, but never soggy. Let the top 1–2 inches dry out between waterings.

• It prefers a steady rhythm—no extremes of bone-dry or waterlogged.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Loves warmth! Keep it in 65–85°F 

• Humidity is key. Aim for 60%+, especially for those lush, velvety leaves to shine.

  • A humidifier, pebble tray, or clustering with other plants works wonders.

🌱 Soil

• Needs a well-draining, chunky aroid mix.

  • Think: potting mix + orchid bark + perlite + a little coco coir.

• This mix keeps the roots airy and prevents sogginess.

🍽️ Fertilizer

• Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.

• Hold off in fall and winter when growth naturally slows down.

🌿 Growth Habit

• It’s more of a crawler than a climber. A wide pot suits it better than a deep one.

• Give it space to spread—those big, heart-shaped leaves deserve the spotlight!

✂️ Bonus Tips

• Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to keep them dust-free and happy.

• Repot every 1–2 years, or when you see roots poking out.

• Keep an eye out for pests like thrips or spider mites—velvety leaves can attract them. A regular check and neem oil spray keeps things under control.
