Philodendron Imperial Green 4" Pot

Philodendron Imperial Green is a bold, lush houseplant with large, glossy green leaves that add a touch of tropical elegance to any indoor space. Known for its easy-care nature, this self-heading Philodendron grows upright and does not require support, making it an ideal choice for plant enthusiasts of any level.

Philodendron Imperial Green Care Tips:

1. Light:

Thrives in medium to bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. Tolerates lower light conditions but may experience slower growth.

2. Soil:

Prefers a well-draining soil mix that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A blend of potting soil with added perlite and orchid bark works well. Avoid peat moss, as it can hold excessive moisture, leading to potential root issues.

3. Watering:

Water when the top half of soil is dry. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent water from sitting at the bottom. Reduce watering frequency in the winter months.

4. Humidity:

Enjoys higher humidity but is adaptable to average indoor levels. To promote healthy growth, place near a humidifier or use a humidity tray if your home is particularly dry.

5. Temperature:

Prefers temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Protect it from drafts and sudden temperature changes, which can stress the plant.

6. Fertilization:

Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter when growth slows.

7. Pruning:

Regular pruning is not necessary but can help maintain the desired shape and remove any yellowing leaves. Simply trim the stems back to encourage fuller growth.

8. Propagation:

Propagation is usually done through division, as this variety grows in clumps. Carefully separate healthy sections with roots attached and replant them in fresh soil.

Philodendron Imperial Green is perfect for indoor gardeners seeking a resilient, low-maintenance plant with impressive foliage. Its vibrant green leaves make it a standout addition to any home or office.
