Philodendron Green Emerald 20cm Pot

Philodendron Green Emerald is a specific cultivar of Philodendron, characterized by its glossy, deep green leaves and compact growth habit.

Light
Provide bright, indirect light for your Philodendron Green Emerald. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it thrives in moderate to bright indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

Watering
Allow the top inch or two of the soil to dry out between waterings. Philodendrons prefer slightly moist soil but can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Ensure proper drainage in the pot to prevent waterlogging.

Temperature
Keep your Philodendron Green Emerald in a warm environment with temperatures between 18°C to 27°C. Avoid exposing it to cold drafts or sudden temperature changes.

Humidity
Philodendrons enjoy moderate to high humidity levels. If the air in your home is dry, you can increase humidity by misting the leaves, using a humidifier, or placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water.

Soil
Plant your Philodendron Green Emerald in well-draining potting soil. A mix formulated for tropical plants or a blend of peat moss, perlite, and coarse sand works well.

Fertilisation
Feed your Philodendron Green Emerald with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilising in the fall and winter when growth slows down.

Pruning
Regularly remove any yellowing or damaged leaves to promote healthy growth. You can also prune to shape the plant or control its size if it becomes too large.
