Philodendron Gigas - B
🪲 Each plant is carefully treated against unwanted pests.
Philodendron Gigas Care Guide:
Light:
• Thrives in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions, but growth will slow. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.
Watering:
• Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry. Philodendron gigas prefers slightly moist soil but does not tolerate being waterlogged, so ensure the pot has proper drainage.
Humidity:
• Loves high humidity (60-80%). Consider placing it in a room with a humidifier or regularly misting the plant. It’s well-suited for terrariums or bathrooms with good indirect light.
Temperature:
• Keep in temperatures between 18-27°C (65-80°F). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 12°C (55°F), as it is sensitive to cold.
Shipping
All plants are shipped with their roots wrapped in Sphagnum Moss, and plastic wrap to retain moisture for the root system. Foliage is then wrapped in a soft material, and then the whole plant is wrapped in isolation paper to secure the plant from movement in the box. Upon arrival to your home, check the roots for any signs of damage or rot. If rot appears, trim the affected roots with clean scissors or pruning shears, and plant into the new pot with the above specified growing media. We recommend waiting a day to water your new plant after repotting, as this will reduce the risk of root rot. Please note that yellowing or browning leaves could occur in transit.
