Key Features & Care:
Light / Position: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Direct sunlight may scorch the leaves, so keep it in a spot with filtered light.
Water / Feed: Water when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Be sure not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season.
Temperature / Humidity: Thrives in temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). It enjoys higher humidity, so misting or using a humidity tray will help it thrive in drier conditions.
Pet / Child Friendly: Toxic to pets and children if ingested, so keep it out of reach of curious animals and little ones.
Air purifying: Known for its air-purifying properties, this plant helps filter out toxins, making it great for improving indoor air quality.
Growth / Spread: Grows as a trailing vine that can reach lengths of up to 1.5-2 meters (5-6 feet), perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a climbing plant on a support.
Geographic Origins: Native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, where it thrives in warm, humid environments.
Care tips
The Velvet Leaf Philodendron is low-maintenance and easy to care for. Keep it in bright, indirect light and allow the top of the soil to dry out between waterings. If your home has low humidity, misting or a humidity tray will help keep it happy. Regular pruning can encourage a fuller, bushier plant.
