Philodendron Burle Marx Mint Care Tips:

 

 

 

1. Light:

 

 

 

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light may reduce variegation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Soil:

 

 

 

Use a well-draining mix such as regular potting soil mixed with perlite and orchid bark. Avoid peat moss as it retains too much moisture, which can lead to root rot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Watering:

 

 

 

Water when the top 50% of soil is dry. The plant prefers slightly moist soil, but ensure it’s not soggy. Reduce watering during the winter months.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Humidity:

 

 

 

Prefers high humidity levels, around 60-70%. Mist the leaves or use a humidifier, especially in drier climates.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Temperature:

 

 

 

Ideal temperature range is 65-80°F (18-27°C). Keep the plant away from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Fertilization:

 

 

 

Fertilize monthly during spring and summer using a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in the colder months when the plant's growth slows down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Pruning:

 

 

 

Trim any yellowing or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and looking its best. Prune leggy growth to encourage a fuller appearance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Propagation:

 

 

 

Propagate through stem cuttings. Cut a healthy section with at least one node, place it in water or a well-draining soil mix, and wait for roots to develop.
