Philodendrons are the heartthrobs of the houseplant world—lush, leafy, and endlessly stylish. With their tropical origins, fast-growing vines or upright forms, and chill care needs, they’re a top pick for both newbies and plant pros.

Watering Tips

Prefer moist but not soggy soil. Water when the top inch or so of soil is dry. In winter, let the soil dry a bit more between waterings.

light requirements

Thrive in bright, indirect light. Tolerate medium to low light, but growth will slow and leaves may shrink. Avoid harsh direct sun—it can scorch the leaves.

Tips & tricks

Enjoy higher humidity, but adapt well to typical indoor levels. Ideal temps: 65–80°F. Keep away from cold drafts and heaters.
