Philodendron Hastatum

Light Requirements:

These plants love a brightly lit room and being close to a window. 

However it is important to avoid them getting any direct sunlight as this will cause burn marks on their leaves. 

Watering needs:

Philodendron’s do need a constant supply of water. So try and keep the soil mix evenly moist – but not muddy. They can be allowed to dry out a little bit, especially just the top two cm’s of the soil.  

Humidity requirements:

Generally all plants do well with some added humidity.

Fertilizing:

Food is always important for any growing plant. During spring and summer fertilize when you water them. The best recommended fertlizer used by Staghorn and Pitcher is Grobest

Soil:

In time you will find that your plant will start outgrowing it’s pot and you will need to upsize the pot and give him a fresh mix. They require a well draining soil mixture that has good moisture retention.

Try and only use a premium potting mix such as the Gromor Potting Soil and it’s always good practice to add in Perlite that will assist with good drainage, plus peat moss and coir husks that will hold in some moisture.
