Tree Philodendron (Philodendron bipinnatifidum) - Plant Care 101

The Tree Philodendron, also known as Philodendron bipinnatifidum, is a popular houseplant known for its striking foliage and ease of care. Here are some essential care tips to keep your Tree Philodendron thriving.

Light Requirements

Tree Philodendrons prefer bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can stunt their growth.

Watering

Water your Tree Philodendron when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. It’s important not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.

Humidity

This plant enjoys higher humidity levels. If your home is dry, consider misting the leaves or using a humidity tray.

Soil

A well-draining potting mix is ideal for Tree Philodendrons. A mix of peat, perlite, and pine bark works well.

Fertilizing

Feed your Tree Philodendron with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).

Pruning

Pruning can help maintain the shape of your Tree Philodendron. Remove any yellow or damaged leaves as needed.

Repotting

Repot your Tree Philodendron every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its pot. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one.

Pests and Problems

• Common Pests: Watch for spider mites and mealybugs.
• Leaf Dropping: Can be a sign of overwatering or inadequate light.

With proper care, your Tree Philodendron will flourish and beautify your space with its lush greenery.
