Most philodendron will thrive in bright, indirect light - though some will like it more shady. Some species can become "leggy" with lack of adequate light.

Generally, you can keep them in an East or West window, or in a South window with a sheer curtain.

Philodendron are tropical plants and do best with warm temperatures - between 70-85F during day and down to 60-65F at night. Avoid cold drafts from windows/vents which can cause leaf drop.

Philodendron will not like to dry out, they should be kept evenly moist (but not waterlogged). Water when the top 1inch of the media is dry. Water thoroughly and wait let all excess water has drain.

If the plant starts to yellow at the leaves, it's possible root rot has set it. Repot into fresh soil and remove any decayed roots, and adjust watering schedule to prevent future root issues. The main cause of root rot is a lack of air at the roots, which is why letting the soil dry enough between waterings is important.

Use a balanced fertilizer in spring and summer (20-20-20 for example). Apply every other week or once a month during the growing months and reduce or stop completely in winter.

Repot plants every 1-2 years, especially if the media is broken down or retaining excess moisture

Use an airy, chunky mix of potting soil with bark, coco fiber/coir, perlite, and charcoal chunks.

Most philodendron also like to climb and will need something to grow onto. Provide a climbing pole or support with a stake.
