Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum

6-12 inches

Philodendron Peru prefers bright, indirect light. It adapts well to a range of lighting conditions, from moderate to slightly lower light settings. Position it near a window with filtered sunlight or provide ample artificial lighting. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight, especially intense afternoon rays, which can lead to leaf damage.

Maintain a moderately moist soil environment for Philodendron Peru. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry before watering, then water thoroughly until water drains from the pot's bottom. During the active growing season (spring and summer), more frequent watering may be necessary, but always assess soil moisture levels before watering to prevent overhydration. In the dormant period (fall and winter), reduce watering frequency, allowing the soil to slightly dry between waterings.

Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum, also referred to as "Philodendron Peru," thrives in a well-draining and moisture-retentive growing medium. A blend of peat moss, perlite, and chunky orchid bark or coconut coir creates an ideal substrate. This mix ensures proper drainage while keeping the soil adequately moist for the plant's vitality.
