Why Philodendrons Are a Must-Have
Philodendrons are aroid superstars, known for their lush foliage and unique variegation, as seen in our The Rare Collection. Their diversity makes them perfect for any indoor jungle, as explored in our indoor jungle guide. Whether trailing or climbing, these plants steal the show.
Philodendron Care Essentials
Here’s how to care for your rare Philodendron varieties:
-
Bright, Indirect Light
Place your Philodendron near a north or east-facing window for filtered light. Variegated types like those in our Philodendron collection need ample light to maintain their patterns. -
Water Sparingly
Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Use a well-draining mix to prevent root rot, a tip shared in our aroid care guide. -
High Humidity
Aim for 60% humidity or higher. Mist or use a humidifier to keep leaves lush, especially for rarities in The Rare Collection. -
Fertilize Monthly
Feed with diluted liquid fertilizer during spring and summer. Avoid overfeeding to protect delicate leaves, like those of the Philodendron Strawberry Shake. -
Support Climbers
Climbing Philodendrons thrive with a moss pole, encouraging larger leaves. This works for low-maintenance varieties too, as noted in our guide to low-maintenance plants.
Grow Your Philodendron Collection
Philodendrons pair beautifully with Monsteras or Syngoniums, as seen in our top 10 rare houseplants for 2025. Each plant in our Philodendron collection is handpicked for its unique charm.
