Philodendron giganteum is, as its name suggests, a species that (under optimal growing conditions) looks like Gulliver in the land of the dwarfs compared to other Philodendron species. And we are not exaggerating at all—on mature plants, the petiole reaches a length of 60-70 cm, while the heart-shaped leaf can grow to a size of 50-80 cm. Philodendron giganteum blizzard is its variegated variant, with the name "blizzard" describing the absolutely spectacular white-green variegation.

Like all Philodendron species, Philodendron giganteum thrives in abundant indirect light (exposure to direct sunlight can discolor its leaves) and prefers a substrate that is watered when the top two centimeters have dried out.

The plant should be mounted on a support pole wrapped in coconut fiber or moss, in which case the aerial roots will cling to this support, resulting in a plant with a more vigorous stem and increasingly larger leaves.

Attention! To check the moisture level of the substrate, inserting a finger into the pot at a depth of 2 cm is the best way to measure soil moisture.

Thus, if you feel the substrate is wet, keep the watering can away from it for one to two days, and if you feel it's dry, water it.

Attention 2! When watering, consider the pot in which the plant is planted, as well as the amount of substrate and its degree of aeration. In other words, don't pour a liter of water into a pot with a diameter and height of 12 cm, as you may drown the plant's roots. It's best to discard excess water from the collector pot half an hour after watering.

Good luck with caring for it! And don't forget to give us updates about your plant, using the hashtag #greenmirrors and tagging @green.mirrors in your Instagram posts! We promise to share them in our stories.
