Philodendron Atabapoense

5-8 Inches

Philodendron Atabapoense prefers bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or provide it with bright artificial lighting. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves. Adequate light promotes healthy growth and vibrant foliage. If the plant receives insufficient light, the leaves may become smaller and the colors less pronounced.

Water your Philodendron Atabapoense when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry. Thoroughly water the plant, allowing the excess water to drain out completely. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. Ensure that the soil remains evenly moist but not waterlogged. Adjust the watering frequency based on the environmental conditions and the plant's needs. In drier conditions, you may need to water more frequently.

Philodendron Atabapoense thrives in well-draining, rich potting soil. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and organic matter provides the ideal growing medium. This combination allows for good drainage while retaining enough moisture for the plant's roots. Avoid heavy soils that retain excessive water, as it can lead to root rot.
