What do you get: SAME EXACT Plant

CARE:
Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. However, too little light might cause the plant's growth to slow down.

Soil: Philodendrons require well-draining soil with high organic matter to keep moist. If their roots remain wet for too long, they will develop root rot which can be fatal.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot.

Humidity: These plants appreciate higher humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing the pot on a humidity tray filled with water and pebbles.

Temperature: They prefer temperatures between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Avoid exposing them to sudden temperature drops.

Soil: Well-draining soil that retains some moisture works well. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil usually suits these plants.

Fertilization: During the growing season (spring and summer), feed the plant monthly or bi-monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce or stop feeding during fall and winter when growth slows down.

Pruning: Trim any yellow or dead leaves regularly. Pruning helps the plant to focus its energy on healthy growth.

Repotting: Consider repotting when the plant becomes root-bound, usually every 1-2 years. Move to a pot one size larger to give the roots room to grow.

Pests and Diseases: Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites or mealybugs. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth occasionally to keep them clean and deter pests.

Propagation: You can propagate Philodendron Black Cardinal through stem cuttings in water or moist soil. Ensure each cutting has at least one node.
