Know before you buy
To root your cutting, place the stem in water or a moist substrate like sphagnum moss. Keep it in a warm, humid environment with bright, indirect light, and you should see new roots developing within a few weeks.
It is versatile; you can let it trail from a hanging basket or shelf, or provide a moss pole if you prefer to encourage its natural climbing habit. Providing support will often result in larger, more mature leaves over time.
No, this Philodendron is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals, such as a high shelf or a room they do not frequent.
Bathrooms or kitchens are excellent locations due to their natural humidity. If your home is dry, you can group it with other plants, place it on a pebble tray with water, or use a small humidifier nearby.
Water when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry to the touch. Because it is not drought-tolerant, try to keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, as this can lead to root rot.
