Simple Care Instructions
 
- Light: Give your Philodendron billietiae bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch its leaves. A spot near a north or east-facing window is ideal.
- Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. This plant likes to be consistently moist but not soggy. Make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot.
- Humidity: This is a jungle plant, so it loves high humidity! You can increase humidity by misting it regularly, using a pebble tray, or placing it near a humidifier.
- Soil: Use a well-draining, chunky soil mix. A blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark will provide the air circulation its roots need.
- Fertilizer: During the spring and summer growing season, feed your plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2-4 weeks. Stop fertilizing in the fall and winter.
