Philodendron Atom
The Philodendron Atom has a compact growth habit, with densely formed clumps of leaves, which are gently ruffled along the edges and have a waxy texture.
They've been cultivated with ease of care in mind and can cope with slightly shadier positions in the home.
The exact tone of green that its leaves have rarely is seen in plants native to the UK. This tone is associated with higher feelings of alertness and vitality, making it a great plant to have in your office or workspace.
Growing pot size: 12cm diameter.
Overall plant height including growing pot: 20 - 35 cm
Pets: The sap can be an irritant to the skin and ingestion can cause stomach upset. Keep away from nibbly pets and curious children. If your skin is on the sensitive side, wear gardening gloves when handling it.

Philodendron Atom Plant Care Tips
In the wild, this tropical plant would normally be under tree canopies that would prevent direct sunlight from hitting its leaves and soil. At home, try to replicate this by placing it in a warm, bright area away from direct sunlight, draughts and radiators.
Let the top inch of the soil dry off in between waterings and mist it often to increase humidity. Steamy kitchens and bathrooms are the perfect rooms!
Feed it with an all-purpose fertiliser once a month during the warmer months and only twice during the colder months.
