Philodendron Calkins Gold – Ø 6 cm

Care/Details

• Light
  Philodendron Calkins Gold grows best in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its vibrant golden hues and promotes faster growth.

• Watering
  Keep the soil evenly moist by watering regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. Be cautious not to overwater, as soggy soil can lead to root rot. Consistent watering during the growing season will ensure healthy, lush foliage.

• Humidity
  This tropical beauty thrives in humid environments. Mist the plant every couple of days during the growing season or use a humidity tray to replicate the conditions of its natural habitat. High humidity will support its vibrant color and overall health.

• Temperature
  Philodendron Calkins Gold flourishes in warm indoor temperatures between 18°C and 27°C. Protect it from cold drafts and temperature fluctuations to prevent stress.

• Soil
  Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture, such as one designed for aroids. This ensures the roots stay healthy and adequately hydrated.

• Fertilizer
  Feed monthly during the active growing months with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth and maintain the plant’s bright golden hues. Nutritional support during this time will help the foliage retain its stunning color.

• Support
  Like many Philodendrons, Calkins Gold has a climbing or trailing growth habit. Providing a moss pole or trellis will encourage upward growth and allow its stunning leaves to shine.
