The philodendron is best kept on a window sill. When several of your plant&#8217;s leaves turn pale, it&#8217;s a sure sign that your philodendron is getting too much sunlight. Long and leggy stems with sparse leaves indicate a lack of sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Water:<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Philodendron, like most house plants, requires a moderate amount of watering. Allow the top 2.5 inches of the spoil to dry out before watering the plant as a general rule. The pinnately divided leaves would droop if overwatered or deprived of water. You&#8217;ll need to measure the soil dryness to figure out what&#8217;s causing the droopy leaves. During the winter, you can reduce the frequency of watering. Soggy soil will cause the roots to rot.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Fertilizer:<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A monthly dose of a balanced liquid foliage houseplant fertiliser containing macronutrients like calcium and magnesium would benefit your philodendron in the spring and summer. During the fall and winter, this feed should be scheduled every six months. In the absence of fertiliser, the leaves and plant will not grow to their normal size.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Humidity:<\/strong> <\/span><\/h3>\n<p>These plants thrive in humid environments. If you live in a dry climate, you may need to spray the plant with water. Another option is to place the pot on a tray with pebbles and water. In the summer, mist the plant twice daily.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019re looking for\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Rental Home In Navi Mumbai\u00a0<\/strong><strong>we have the\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Best Rental Properties In Navi Mumbai Like Ready to Move &amp; Nearby possession:\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/navimumbaihouses.com\/property\/search\/rent\/navi-mumbai%20all\/?type=1&amp;pricemin=&amp;pricemax=&amp;sqftfrom=&amp;sqftto=&amp;furnished=&amp;locality=&amp;contact_type=&amp;facing=null\">https:\/\/navimumbaihouses.com\/property\/search\/rent\/navi-mumbai-all\/<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>If<\/strong><strong>\u00a0you want daily property update details please follow us on\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/navimumbai.houses\/\">Facebook Page<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCJj_M-KlNliMtr_GybNL-Mg?view_as=subscriber\">YouTube\u00a0Channel<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NaviMum_Houses\">Twitter<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our gardening guide will teach you how to grow and care for philodendron, a popular foliage plant.
