PHILODENDRON IMPERIAL RED
An easy care Philodendron that has leaves that unfurl red and slowly change to a deep shade of green as they age.
WATER
Allow the top 5cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Then water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away. If in doubt whether it is time to water leave it for another day or 2. They are far more susceptible to root rot from over watering than being affected by forgetting the odd watering.
LIGHT
Your Philodendron 'Imperial Red' will enjoy bright, indirect light for optimal growth. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
FERTILISING
Feed every 4 weeks during the Spring and Summer months.
