6” Philodendron Billietiae
Special Care Instructions
This tropical plant in South America enjoys warm temperatures, high humidity, and an abundance of lighting. It requires a well-drained and chunky soil filled with many additives like perlite, orchid bark, worm castings, fertilizer, vermiculite, etc. Direct lighting during the morning and evening is fine but could burn the leaves for longer periods. Humidity levels between 60% to 80% mimic the natural environment for rainforest so a humidifier and pebble tray are important. If using fertilizer, dilute the half strength to once a month in the growth period, repot every one-to-two year and increase pot size two-to-four inches larger. Yellowing leaves could be an indication of poor lighting, underwatering, overwatering, pests, or too much fertilizer so keep an eye out for any significant changes. If there are spots on the leaves, the plant may have developed a fungal or bacterial disease.
