Know before you buy
The Philodendron ‘Autumn’ features a dynamic color shift. New leaves emerge in a vibrant reddish-bronze hue, gradually deepening into a rich, glossy green as they mature.
This variety prefers bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help maintain its unique coloration and encourage healthy growth.
It prefers a moderate watering schedule. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, as it dislikes sitting in soggy soil.
No, the Philodendron ‘Autumn’ is not pet-safe. It is toxic if ingested, so it is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.
The ‘Autumn’ is a slow-growing variety. Its clumping, upright habit makes it a low-maintenance choice that won't quickly outgrow its space or require frequent repotting.
