Philodendron Verrucosum

The 6" Philodendron Verrucosum is a stunning tropical plant prized for its velvety, textured leaves and bold patterns. Ideal for smaller spaces or as a starter plant, it promises to become a showstopper with the right care. Here’s how to help your plant thrive:

• Light:
  Provide bright, indirect light to showcase its unique leaf patterns. While it can tolerate lower light, consistent, filtered light will enhance its vibrant appearance. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.

• Watering:
  Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Consistent moisture is key, but be cautious of overwatering—ensure your pot has excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

• Soil:
  Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich potting mix. For optimal results, consider premium soils like Tank's Green Stuff or Fox Farm's Happy Frog. These blends offer the right balance of moisture retention and aeration to support healthy root growth.

• Temperature & Humidity:
  Thriving in warm, humid environments, Philodendron Verrucosum prefers temperatures above 65°F. If your indoor air is dry, occasional misting or using a humidifier can help replicate its natural tropical habitat.

• Fertilizing:
  During the growing season (spring and summer), feed your plant with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce feeding in the fall and winter when growth naturally slows.

• Repotting & Maintenance:
  As a 6" specimen, your plant may remain in its pot until it becomes root-bound. Repot when necessary using a container with drainage holes and fresh, quality soil. Regularly remove any yellowed or damaged leaves to encourage new growth.
