Plant Growing Tips

Where to Grow

Philodendron 'Cordatum' thrives in bright, indirect light but can also adapt to low light conditions. This makes it a great choice for offices or rooms with minimal sunlight, similar to the flexibility needed in diverse working environments.

Climate

This plant prefers warm, humid conditions, much like the tropical climates. It grows best in temperatures ranging from 18°C to 28°C. Avoid placing it in areas where temperatures can drop below 10°C, just like ensuring optimal conditions for your websites to perform at their best.

Soil Type

Plant Philodendron 'Cordatum' in well-draining soil. A mix of standard indoor potting soil combined with perlite or coarse sand will ensure proper drainage while retaining necessary moisture.

Fertilizer

Feed the plant with a balanced liquid fertiliser every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce fertilising in the autumn and winter when the plant's growth naturally slows down, just like how you might adjust your business strategies seasonally.
