Philodendron Imperial Green Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Stop the spotting! It is normal for this plant to develop yellow spots on its leaves when it acclimatises to its new location, however if full leaf yellowing occurs, it’s a watering issue.
Finished with the fading? This plant likes lots of bright indirect sunlight to grow and maintain its colouring. If you notice its leaves starting to dull, move to a brighter location.
Occasional wiping of leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust will keep your plant looking fresh and feeling fine.
