Philodendron 'Tortum' | Philodendron Bipinattifidum-A2
🪲 Each plant is carefully treated against unwanted pests.
💡 Light:
Provide bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn, but it will tolerate lower light conditions, although growth may slow down.
💦 Watering:
Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry. Like most philodendrons, it prefers evenly moist soil but should not sit in water as this can lead to root rot. In winter, reduce the watering frequency as growth slows down.
• Humidity:
This plant loves humidity (60%+), but it can adapt to lower levels. If possible, use a humidifier or mist the plant regularly, especially during drier months.
• Soil:
A well-draining, chunky potting mix is ideal. You can use a mix designed for aroids or make your own by combining regular potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite. This ensures the roots have air circulation and drainage.
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.
