Philodendron Lupinum

3

This plant prefers low to moderate indirect light. It thrives in environments with filtered sunlight or areas that receive dappled light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as this can lead to leaf burn. A north-facing or east-facing window is often suitable, or you can place it a few feet away from a window with sheer curtains.

Maintain consistently moist soil for Philodendron lupinum, but be cautious not to overwater. Water the plant thoroughly when the top inch of the soil feels slightly dry to the touch. Ensure that the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, as overly soggy conditions can lead to root rot. During the growing season (spring and summer), you may need to water a bit more frequently, and during the dormant period (fall and winter), you can reduce watering, allowing the soil to dry out a bit more between waterings.

Philodendron lupinum thrives in a well-draining, moisture-retentive growing medium. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark or coconut coir can work well. This blend provides good aeration for the roots while maintaining the necessary moisture levels. You can also consider adding a small amount of sphagnum moss to help with moisture retention.
