Philodendron
Light Requirements and Watering
Light
Place the plant near a sunny window with bright, indirect light, as direct sunlight can scorch the leaves and low light can hinder growth.
Water
Philodendron Gabby prefers moist soil but can tolerate slight dryness. Water when the top inch of the soil is dry and maintain 25% moisture. Avoid overwatering and ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Fertilizing and Soil
Soil
Choose a well-draining, nutrient-rich soil mixture that is part perlite and part peat moss or coir. This combination will help retain moisture and provide nutrients while ensuring proper drainage.
Fertilizer
Use a slow-release fertilizer, natural fertilizers like worm castings, fish emulsions, compost, or manure, or apply diluted liquid feed during watering. Be cautious not to over-fertilize.
