Philodendron Selloum Gold is a striking tropical plant known for its large, glossy, golden-green leaves. Here’s an overview of its characteristics and care requirements:
Characteristics
Leaves: The leaves are deeply lobed and can grow quite large, providing a lush, tropical appearance. The golden hue can vary based on light exposure.
Growth Habit: This Philodendron is a climbing or sprawling plant, which makes it great for adding height and texture to indoor spaces or gardens.
Care Tips
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Insufficient light may lead to leggy growth and duller leaf color.
Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. It’s important not to let the plant sit in water, as this can lead to root rot.
Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity levels, ideally around 50-70%. You can increase humidity with a pebble tray or a humidifier.
Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures, ideally between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C).
Soil and Fertilization
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture, such as a mix designed for tropical plants.
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
Pruning and Repotting
Pruning: Regularly prune to remove any yellowing leaves and to shape the plant as desired.
Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.
Propagation
Methods: Philodendron Selloum can be propagated through stem cuttings. Make sure to use healthy stems with at least one node.
This plant is not only visually appealing but also relatively easy to care for, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts!
