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

Ensure good drainage in the pot to prevent excess moisture retention.

Prune to maintain shape, remove dead or yellowing leaves, and control size. Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. Pinch back the tips to encourage bushier growth.

Pruning can be done anytime, but is best done in spring before active growth begins.

Philodendron tatei can be propagated from stem cuttings. Take a cutting with at least one leaf and an aerial root. Root the cutting in water or moist potting mix. Once roots have developed, transplant into its own pot.

This is best done in spring or early summer.

Repot your Philodendron tatei every 1-2 years or when it becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is 2-5 cm larger in diameter than the current one. Use a well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in spring, just as new growth begins.
