Philodendron 'Little Phil' care instructions:
Location: Philodendron 'Little Phil' prefers a bright or partially sunny area - experiments in Australia show that the plant can be grown successfully in direct sun, but not enough data is provided. However, it will also tolerate a darker area. The foliage will become greener if it is placed in a shadier area.
Watering: The soil must be neither too wet nor too dry. Water regularly, allowing the soil to partially dry between waterings. Make sure the culture system provides good drainage.
Soil: Philodendron prefers a nutrient-rich soil that retains moisture well.
Note: Some specimens may have mechanical defects/scars and/or discoloration on the leaves.
Height with pots approx. 15 cm
