Philodendron Red Beauty Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Think tropical showers. Let the top half of soil dry out before drenching and draining. Allowing tap water to stand for a few hours before watering will let chlorine evaporate.
Spin me round! Keep growth even and upright by turning the pot a quarter turn every month.
Mist and wipe. Philodendenron will really thrive in higher humidity. Improve moisture with an occasional spritz and wipe those big leaves to keep the sheen and improve photosynthesis.
Light
Philodendron Red Beauty likes bright, indirect light. It can tolerate the occasional few hours of direct sunlight but be careful not to scorch the leaves. Brown spots will develop if the light is too harsh.
Watering
Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly. Allow the water to drain out and squeeze the grow pot a little to remove excess water to avoid waterlogged soil.
Temperature
Philodendron Red Beauty prefers average to warm household temperatures from 18-28°C. Avoid cold draughts.
Humidity
The Philodendron Red Beauty will do fine in normal home humidity, but thrives in more humid environments. Consider misting occasionally for best results.
Feed
Apply a weak solution of liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season. Do not feed during the winter.
