Know before you buy
The Philodendron 'Autumn' naturally produces these colors on new growth. To encourage healthy, vibrant foliage, place the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light, as insufficient light may cause new leaves to emerge a duller green.
Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch, which typically happens every one to two weeks. Always check the soil moisture before watering, as environmental factors like humidity and temperature can change your plant's specific needs.
No, the Philodendron 'Autumn' is toxic to pets if ingested. We recommend placing it on a high shelf or in a room that your pets cannot access.
The choice depends on your watering habits. The porcelain planter includes a drainage hole, which is ideal for preventing overwatering, while the ceramic option is a solid vessel that requires more careful monitoring to ensure the roots do not sit in excess water.
The Sill offers virtual plant appointments where you can speak with an expert to troubleshoot any issues. You can also reach out for guidance on light placement or watering adjustments to ensure your plant thrives.
