Philodendron 'Tree Hugger' Care Guide
Light
Being a native of rainforests, it doesn’t cope well with direct sunlight as this is blocked by canopies. Make sure your plant is placed somewhere with medium to bright light
Water
Make sure the top few inches of the soil is dry between waterings. Water every week during summer and less in winter
Temperature
Keep in a well-heated room during the winter as the plant does not like the cold weather
Feeding
A dash of fertiliser in the water during the growing season
Grooming
Its roots were made for gripping so it doesn’t do well in dense soil. The perfect mixture would include a moisture-retaining ingredient like sphagnum moss or coco coir with perlite to allow water-flow
Care
Mist regularly and, it can help increase the humidity of a room by 15%
