Philodendron Burle Marx Variegated Care Instructions
These care tips will help your Philodendron Burle Marx Variegated thrive and show off its stunning variegation!
-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can cause the variegation to fade and scorch the leaves. It can tolerate lower light but may lose some of its vibrant colors.
-
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry to the touch. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
-
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Aim for at least 50% humidity, and consider misting the plant or using a humidifier in drier climates.
-
Temperature: Maintain a temperature range between 65°F to 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix. A mix that includes peat, perlite, and a bit of orchid bark is ideal to ensure good drainage and aeration.
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
-
Pruning: Trim back any yellowing or damaged leaves to maintain the plant’s health and encourage new growth. Pruning can also help manage its size and shape.
-
Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage to allow for growth.
-
Pests: Regularly check for pests like spider mites, aphids, and mealybugs. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil if needed.
-
Propagation: Can be easily propagated through stem cuttings. Ensure that each cutting has at least one node and place it in water or directly into moist soil until roots develop.
