🐾 Pet Warning: Toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, causing oral irritation, pain and swelling of the mouth, tongue, and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. It's advisable to keep Philodendrons out of reach of pets.

💧 Care Level: Easy. Philodendrons are among the easiest houseplants to care for, making them perfect for beginners or those seeking low-maintenance indoor plants.

📏 Approximate Size: Philodendrons vary in size depending on the species. They can range from compact, tabletop varieties to large, sprawling plants that can reach several feet in height and spread.

🌞 Light: Prefers moderate to bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Variegated or more colorful varieties may require brighter light to maintain their unique leaf colors.

💧 Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Philodendrons prefer the soil to be evenly moist but not soggy. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

💦 Humidity: Appreciates high humidity but can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. Misting the leaves or using a humidifier can help to increase humidity around the plant.

🌡️ Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect from drafts and avoid temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

❄️ Hardiness: Best suited as indoor plants in most climates. Not frost-tolerant.

🌱 Fertilizing: Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce feeding in the winter months.

🔄 Re-potting: Re-pot every 2 to 3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with adequate drainage.

🌱 Propagation: Easily propagated by stem cuttings. Cut a section of stem with a few leaves and place it in water or directly into soil. Roots will develop, and the new plant can be potted on its own.
