Care & tips Philodendron Imperial red - 40cm

The Philodendron Imperial red is a reasonably easy plant to maintain. However, due to its tropical origins this houseplant does like a slightly damp environment. This will enhance its growth and shine. The Philodendron Imperial red will certainly survive in a less humid environment, but its growth will be somewhat slower. The Philodendron Imperial red is also an air-purifying houseplant. Due to its size, it will not be able to purify the entire room with every bit of help!

Water requirements Philodendron Imperial red - 40cm

The Philodendron Imperial red does not need much water, but it is important that the soil is always slightly moist. This houseplant is very sensitive to a wet soil. Does the soil still feel moist? Then wait a moment before watering. If your Philodendron Imperial red gets brown leaves, this is probably due to too much water. You can safely cut off these brown leaves.

The amount of water depends on the location, the humidity of the room and the size of the pot. Always check the amount and frequency of watering in the beginning. As the Philodendron Imperial red originates from a tropical climate, we recommend that you water its leaves on a regular basis. This will ensure that the Philodendron Imperial red remains healthy and retains its special appearance.
