5" Philodendron 'Jungle Boogie'

Philodendron,  is a popular and easy-to-care-for houseplant. Here are straightforward care instructions:

1. Light: Thrives in moderate to bright, indirect light. It can tolerate lower light conditions but grows best with more light.

2. Watering: Allow the top inch or so of the soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when you do water, and ensure excess water drains away to prevent root rot.

3. Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average household humidity levels. Mist the leaves occasionally or place the pot on a humidity tray to increase moisture.

4. Temperature: Keep in a room with temperatures ideally between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with organic matter. A mix designed for houseplants or a blend of peat moss, perlite, and compost works well.

6. Fertilization: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half-strength. Reduce feeding in fall and winter when growth slows.

7. Pruning: Trim back leggy growth to encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves promptly.

8. Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings placed in water or directly in soil. Roots will develop in a few weeks, after which you can plant them in pots.

9. Pests: Monitor for pests like spider mites or aphids. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
