Know before you buy
The 4-inch refers to the diameter of the nursery pot it arrives in. The 'XL' designation indicates that this is a mature, well-established specimen that is larger and more developed than a standard starter plug.
To keep the foliage healthy and the growth habit upright, place it in a spot with bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the leaves, while too little light may cause the plant to become leggy and lose its signature twist.
No, it is categorized as easy to care for. It is a great choice for those who want a unique, architectural plant without needing a complex care routine.
You should water it when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry to the touch, which is typically about once a week. Be sure to allow excess water to drain completely to prevent root rot.
This Philodendron thrives in standard household temperatures between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit. It should be kept away from cold drafts or direct heat sources like vents.
Yes, the plant is shipped fully rooted in its own soil and pot. It is ready to be displayed as soon as you unbox it, though you may want to let it acclimate to your home's light levels for a few days.
