Philodendrons: Tropical Air-Purifying Houseplants

Introduction Philodendrons are vibrant tropical plants native to Central and South America. As evergreen perennials from the Araceae family, similar to pothos, they feature over 400 species and countless cultivars. The most common varieties produce long vines or stems with thick, waxy, dark green leaves.

Growing Conditions - Lighting: Thrive in partial sunlight, naturally receiving dappled light under a tropical canopy. Place them near a window with bright, indirect light indoors. - Soil: Prefers loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Replace the soil every couple of years to avoid soil salinity, which can cause leaf browning and yellowing.

Seasonal Care - Planting Time: Best planted in the spring, but can be successful at any time of year as houseplants.

Temperatures - Temperature Tolerance: Generally, do not tolerate temperatures below 55°F (13°C). Protect from cool drafts, including air-conditioning vents.

Air Purification Philodendrons effectively improve indoor air quality, making them a perfect choice for any home or office.
