Philodendron Temptation Variegated -02
🪲 Each plant is carefully treated against unwanted pests.
Philodendron 'Temptation Variegated' is a striking houseplant known for its creamy white or yellow variegation. Here are some care tips to keep it healthy:
Light
- **Indirect Light**: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.
Watering
- **Moderate Watering**: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid letting it sit in water to prevent root rot.
Humidity
- **High Humidity**: Thrives in higher humidity levels (around 60% or more). Misting or using a humidity tray can help.
Temperature:
- **Warm Temperatures**: Enjoys temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from cold drafts.
Soil:
- **Well-Draining Mix**: Use a peat-based potting mix that allows for good drainage. Consider adding perlite for aeration.
Fertilization:
- **Regular Feeding**: During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize every 4-6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
Pruning:
- **Occasional Pruning**: Trim any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage healthy growth.
With proper care, your Philodendron 'Temptation Variegated' can thrive and add beauty to your space!
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.
