PHILODENDRON CARE WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK
Know How It Wants to Grow
Not every Philodendron wants the same setup.
Some trail, some climb and others grow upright. Get the growth habit right first and the rest becomes much easier to plan.
01
LIGHT
Most Philodendrons grow well in bright indirect light. Colourful and variegated forms usually benefit from brighter indirect light.
02
WATER
Allow the upper layer of the growing medium (the material the plant is growing in) to begin drying before watering thoroughly rather than following a fixed schedule.
03
GROWTH
Trailing, climbing and self heading Philodendrons all behave differently, so choose around the space you actually have.
04
SUPPORT
Climbing Philodendrons can benefit from a moss pole, plank or other suitable support as they mature.
CLIMBER OR SELF HEADING?
Same Genus. Very Different Growth.
Some Philodendrons naturally trail or climb, while others hold themselves in a more upright form. Knowing which one you have makes choosing the right position and support much easier.
PHILODENDRON PLANT CARE
A Few Things You Might Want to Know
What Is a Philodendron Plant?
Philodendron is a large genus of tropical plants in the Araceae family (the plant family that includes Philodendron, Monstera and many other aroids), grown indoors for distinctive foliage and a wide range of growth habits.
Depending on the type, Philodendrons may trail, climb or grow in a more upright self heading form.
Are Philodendrons Easy to Care For?
Many Philodendrons are relatively adaptable and some can be good choices if you want impressive foliage without particularly complicated care.
They still need suitable light, careful watering and good drainage.
How Much Light Does a Philodendron Need?
Most Philodendrons grow well in bright indirect light. Some green varieties can tolerate somewhat lower light.
Colourful and variegated forms usually benefit from brighter indirect light.
How Often Should I Water a Philodendron?
Avoid watering on a fixed schedule. Check the growing medium and allow the upper layer to begin drying before watering thoroughly.
Constantly wet growing media can cause problems around the roots.
Do Climbing Philodendrons Need a Moss Pole?
Not always, but climbing Philodendrons naturally grow upwards using other surfaces for support.
A moss pole, plank or other suitable support can help guide the plant upwards and support a more natural climbing habit.
Support can contribute to mature growth when the rest of the conditions are suitable, but it does not automatically guarantee larger leaves.
Are Philodendrons the Same as Monstera?
No. Philodendron and Monstera are separate genera, although both belong to the wider Araceae family and some can look similar.
If you love large tropical foliage and fenestrated leaves, explore our Monstera Jungle.
Do All Philodendrons Climb?
No. Some Philodendrons climb or trail, while others grow in a more upright self heading form.
Knowing the growth habit before you buy makes it much easier to choose the right position and decide whether the plant needs support.
Which Philodendrons Have Colourful Foliage?
Philodendron foliage can range from deep green to bronze, red, pink, cream and highly variegated patterns.
Varieties such as Pink Princess are popular for colourful foliage, while collector cultivars and hybrids can offer even more variation.
