Philodendron Tortum Care
Watering
When it comes to watering, it prefers consistently moist but not waterlogged soil. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly between watering's, ensuring adequate drainage to prevent root rot.
Light
In terms of lighting, provide bright, indirect sunlight to maintain its vibrant foliage, although it can tolerate low light conditions.
Temperature
Optimal temperatures range between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C), avoiding sudden temperature drops.
Soil Mix
A well-draining soil mix rich in organic matter supports healthy growth.
Humidity
Philodendron Tortum thrives in moderately high humidity levels, around 60% to 70%, which can be achieved through misting or placing it on a pebble tray filled with water.
Fertilizer
Feed the plant monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Toxicity
It's important to note that all parts of the Philodendron Tortum are toxic if ingested, so keep it out of reach of children and pets, and handle with care.
