Ben's tips on plant care:
- We recommend cultivating the cutting in moist sphagnum moss
- Location/light requirements: Partly shaded to bright, avoid direct sunlight.
- Substrate: Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil, special soil
- Temperature: optimal at 23-27° C (day), 16-18° C (night), do not allow to cool below 12°C
- Watering: Keep the substrate moist and water when the top layer of substrate begins to dry, using lukewarm, low-lime water, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
- Humidity: requires high humidity, spray regularly (leaves should be able to dry afterwards!) (leaves should be able to dry afterwards!) or use a humidifier
- Addition of nutrients: In spring/summer approx. every 4-6 weeks with liquid fertilizer.
- Repot approx. every 1-2 years when the plant is suitably rooted.
- Remove dust from the leaves regularly with a slightly damp cloth. Cut off damaged and dead leaves promptly with disinfected, sharp scissors.
