Why You’ll Love It: Philodendron Tortum is not only visually appealing but also easy to care for, making it a perfect addition to any indoor plant collection. Its unique foliage and adaptable nature allow it to thrive in a variety of indoor settings, whether displayed as a bushy tabletop plant or allowed to climb and showcase its magnificent leaves.

Care Instruction
Difficulty

Easy

Light

This plant thrives in bright indirect light, which means it needs a well-lit space without harsh direct sunlight. Ideal locations include east or north-facing windows, or spots near south or west-facing windows with filtered light through a sheer curtain to protect its foliage.

Water

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering & ensure pots have drainage holes. Frequency may vary with season and light, roughly once every 5–10 days.

Growing Media

30–40% Coco Coir/Peat Moss: For moisture retention.
20–30% Perlite/Pumice: Ensures excellent drainage and aeration.
20–30% Orchid Bark (small): Promotes airflow and mimics natural conditions.
10–20% Vermicompost/Compost: Provides slow-release nutrients.

Optional: A handful of horticultural charcoal for added benefit. This blend supports healthy roots and prevents rot in our high humidity.

Feeding & Fertilization

Fertilize every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in colder months. Overfertilization can lead to salt buildup and leaf burn.

Size

Healthy Plant

Beautifully shipped. Larger than image shown. One small drawback is pot was rather small for the plant and it is a bit unbalanced. Doesn't matter, still a wonderful plant.
