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.

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.
