Philodendron selloum Care Guide

• Light: Prefers medium, indirect light. Can handle indirect light, but too much bright light will cause the leaves to become pale and bleached-looking. Too little light will cause the stems to become elongated as the plant stretches towards the light. Direct sun burns the leaves.
• Water: Water thoroughly until the water drains out the drip holes in the bottom of the pot, and then allow the top of the soil to dry out before watering again.
• Humidity: High
• Temperature: 75-80F 
• Pruning: Prune as needed to remove brown or dead leaves and control growth.
• Feeding: Fertilize monthly in the spring and fall, every other week in the summer, and never in the winter. Use a balanced plant food diluted to 1/2 the recommended strength
• Propagation: Division 
• Growth: Plant is often wider than it is tall
• Pests: Look out for aphids and mealy bugs. If the air is very dry, can also attract spider mites. 
• Toxicity: Toxic to humans and pets
