Philodendron plants are easy-going and generally forgiving with their care routine. They thrive in bright, filtered light conditions but can tolerate medium light as well. Variegated Philodendron plants crave a higher light source to help keep their variegation. Water your Philodendron when the soil is dry about 2” down from the top of the pot. Keep your Philodendron in chunky potting mix.
