Philodendron Imperial Red

Purifying and humidifying

Tropical plants have also been proven to improve air humidity. If you are constantly in dry spaces like air-conditioned offices or suffer from respiratory problems, this plant will definitely help!

• Philodendrons prefer loose soil, where water can drain easily. The soil needs to be moist but not wet to prevent root rot.
• Make sure that the top 1-2 inches of the soil is dry between waterings. It will need more water in the summer months and less in the winter.
• Clean any dusty and dirty leaves with a clean cloth.
• Place your plant in a bright area away from direct sunlight. Make sure that the sun is now directly on its leaves and they can get burned.
• Tropical plants are used to warm environments so they prefer temperatures between 18°C and 26°C. In colder months, keep it in a well-heated room.
• The Philodendron Red also enjoys humid environments so, if your home is dry and you don’t have a humidifier, you can put it together with other plants as they will increase air moisture.
• During the growing season, feed it monthly with a fertiliser rich in macronutrients.
• If you notice roots filling out the bottom of the pot, it’s because they’ve become too big and strong and it’s time to repot it.

Where is it From?
