About this plant

Philodendron Scandens Gold

Requires medium to bright indirect sunlight as long as it is not exposed to direct sun.

Can tolerate low light as well for extended times, however do try and move to an area with brighter light from time to time.

Works brilliant close to windows. A North or South facing window is recommended. 

Water once a week tops. Check to see that at least the top 3cm of the soil is properly dry before attempting to water. 

Higher humidity will encourage the leaves to grow larger.

 

Note: Each individual plant is unique. This image is an example only, however the plant you receive will be as close as possible to this image description. 

Note: Stem length indicated above  is a guide to the estimated length rather than an exact length that you will receive.
