Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months when the plant's growth slows down.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged soil.

Prune to maintain shape, remove yellowing or dead leaves, and encourage bushier growth. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Cut just above a leaf node.

Pruning can be done at any time of year, but it's best to do it during the active growing season.

Philodendrons are easily propagated from stem cuttings. Take a cutting that includes at least one leaf and a node. You can root cuttings in water, moist potting mix, or sphagnum moss.

Roots typically form within a few weeks.

Repot your Philodendron every 1-2 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Spring is the ideal time for repotting to allow the plant to adjust to its new container.
