Question about item

With its unusual and delicately feathered leaves, this philodendron is a filigree beauty and a special rarity that is very rarely found in the trade. Due to its slow growth, which is quite small compared to other philodendrons, it is also well suited for cultivation in terrariums, where it can climb along the back or side walls. When kept on the windowsill, it should be fertilized occasionally.
• Delivery: You will receive an offshoot that is comparable to the product images.
• Growth type: climbing
• Origin: tropical rainforests of French Guiana
• Other names: tree friend, tree lover, climbing philodendron

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 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 upper substrate layer begins to dry with lukewarm water that is low in lime, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
• Humidity: needs high humidity, spray regularly (leaves should be allowed to dry afterwards!) or use an air humidifier
• Nutrient addition: In spring/summer approx. every 4-6 weeks with liquid fertiliser.
• Repot about every 1-2 years when the plant is properly rooted.
• Regularly remove dust from leaves with a slightly damp cloth. Cut off damaged and dead leaves promptly with disinfected and sharp scissors.
