Plant Care.
Light:
- Philodendron Reds thrive in bright, indirect light. They can tolerate lower light conditions but will exhibit more vibrant coloration in well-lit areas.
- Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. A curtain-filtered or dappled sunlight is ideal.
Watering:
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch.
- Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent water from pooling at the bottom. Philodendron Reds are less tolerant of drying out completely compared to some other Philodendron species.
Humidity:
- These plants appreciate higher humidity levels. Mist the plant occasionally or place a humidity tray nearby to maintain suitable moisture in the air.
Temperature:
- Maintain room temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). They can tolerate slightly cooler conditions but should be protected from cold drafts and frost.
Soil:
- Use a well-draining potting mix suitable for indoor tropical plants. A mixture of potting soil, perlite, and peat moss or coconut coir works well.
Fertilizing:
- Feed your Philodendron Red with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring through summer). Reduce or cease fertilization in the dormant winter months.
Pruning and Maintenance:
- Regularly prune or pinch back your plant to encourage bushier growth and maintain its desired shape.
- Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to promote overall plant health.
Support:
- If your Philodendron Red becomes leggy or grows long vines, it can benefit from support like a trellis or stake to help it climb. Alternatively, you can trim long vines to maintain a bushier appearance.
Potting:
- Choose a pot or container with drainage holes and repot your Philodendron Red as needed when it becomes root-bound or outgrows its container.
Toxicity:
- It’s important to note that Philodendron Red is considered toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of children and pets.
Philodendron Red is a unique and attractive houseplant with its striking foliage. With proper care and attention to its specific needs, it will thrive and continue to add a touch of elegance to your indoor spaces.
Components of a Self-Watering Pot:
- Reservoir: This is the bottom part of the pot, where water is stored. It typically has a separate compartment with a water level indicator, which helps you monitor the water level easily. The reservoir is usually separated from the plant container by a barrier that prevents the roots from sitting in standing water.
- Plant Container: This is the upper part of the pot where you plant your greenery. It has a growing medium (usually potting soil) and a plant.
