Philodendron
Bright, indirect light is best; tolerates lower light but growth may slow.
Allow the top few centimetres of soil to dry between waterings; avoid waterlogging.
Feed every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound; best done in spring.
Description
Philodendron is a popular indoor plant known for its lush, heart-shaped or deeply lobed leaves and fast-growing nature. Available in both trailing and upright forms, it adds a tropical feel to shelves, hanging planters, and corners of UK homes and offices.
Toxic if ingested—keep away from pets and children.
