This plant is part of our 'Home Grown Propagations & Cuttings' collection, please visit this page for more information.
Pot size (diameter): 10 cm. Grown in soil.
Supplied as photographed, exact plant. One very well rooted cutting of Pittieri with four leaves, then two rooted wet sticks of either Plowmanii or Mamei (too young for me to currently tell), one of these does have some damage to a leaf where it knocked against the rim of the pot.
A different take on the classic Heart Leaf Philodendron. The Philodendron Pittieri is an uncommon plant with lovely, large pillowy leaves which have a subtle sheen to them.
A surprisingly low-maintenance plant for starting or expanding your indoor jungle.
Care:
Light: Tolerant of medium light to bright indirect light, however too much light can cause brown, crispy tips on the leaves.
Water:
his plant likes to be moist but doesn’t want its roots to be constantly wet. Water when the top 2/3 of the soil dries out. For best results water from underneath with the use of a saucer to reduce the chance of root rot. Reduce watering during winter months and let dry out more completely.
Food: Feed monthly during the growing season but not during winter unless actively growing.
Humidity: High humidity will produce a happier plant but will tolerate a normal household humidity. A low humidity will cause brown, crispy tips on the leaves.
