Ben's tips on plant care:
- We recommend keeping the cutting in moist Sphagnum moss until it has formed roots. It can then be potted into the soil recommended under the Substrate section.
- Habitat/Light Requirements: Partial shade, avoid bright/direct sunlight.
- Substrate: Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil, Special Soil
- Temperature: optimal at 22-28° C, do not allow to cool below 18° C.
- Watering: Water well about 1x per week, keep substrate moist but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: Requires high humidity.
- Nutrient addition: In spring/summer about every 2 weeks with liquid fertilizer.
- Should be repotted about every 2 years.
- Avoid drafts. Remove dust from leaves regularly with a slightly damp cloth.
