10 Tips To Make Philodendron Plants Bigger and Bushier
Producer: Swati Chaturvedi
Proper Light:
Provide bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth in Philodendron plants.
Regular Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; allow the top inch to dry between waterings.
Well-Draining Soil:
Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogged roots and promote aeration.
Balanced Fertilizer:
Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
Support Structure:
Use stakes or a moss pole to provide support and encourage upward growth.
Pruning:
Trim leggy stems to promote bushiness, cutting just above a leaf node to encourage new growth.
Temperature and Humidity:
Maintain a warm, humid environment; mist the leaves or use a humidity tray.
Rotate the Plant:
Turn the plant regularly to ensure even exposure to light, preventing lopsided growth.
