Ben's care tips:
• We recommend keeping the cutting in moist sphagnum moss until it has rooted. Then it can be potted in the soil recommended under the point substrate.
• Location/light requirements: partially shaded to bright, avoid direct sunlight.
• Substrate: Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil, special soil
• Temperature: optimal at 27° C (day), 18° C (night)
• Watering: Keep the substrate moist and water when the upper substrate layer begins to dry with lukewarm water that is low in lime, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
• Humidity: requires relatively high humidity, spray regularly (leaves should be allowed to dry afterwards!)
• Nutrient addition: moderately every 2-4 weeks in spring/summer with diluted organ. Fertilize with liquid fertilizer
• Repot about every 2 years when the plant is properly rooted.
