If you’re looking to bring a tropical rainforest vibe into your home, none do it better than Philodendrons. This striking genus of plant belongs to the Araceae (Arum) family and with an estimated 900 species it is the second-largest species in the family. Easy to care for, air purifying and fast-growing tropical houseplant.
Philodendrons are native to the Americas and found stretching across the continent from north to south. They are almost always found in high-humidity environments, along rivers, in swamps and of course, in their most comfortable environment, tropical rainforests. The species consists of two main types, non-trailing and vining plants which are both popular amongst houseplant lovers for the abundant feeling they create.
Philodendrons, which literally translates from Greek into ‘love trees’, will match wonderfully with one of our moss poles.
- How often should I water my Philodendron Paraiso Verde?
- Water your Philodendron when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically once a week. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s crucial to let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
- Can the Philodendron Paraiso Verde thrive in low light conditions?
- While this plant prefers medium light, it can adapt to lower light conditions. However, its growth may slow, and the variegation of its leaves might become less pronounced in reduced lighting.
- Is the Philodendron Paraiso Verde suitable for beginners?
- Yes, this plant is an excellent choice for beginners due to its easy care requirements and robust nature. It’s forgiving and can handle occasional neglect, making it ideal for those new to houseplants.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Your Philodendron Paraiso Verde thrives in medium light conditions. It prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Too much direct sun can scorch its leaves, while too little light can slow its growth and fade the variegation. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain is ideal.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
This plant likes its soil to be moist, but not soggy. Water it when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering in the winter months to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Philodendrons enjoy temperatures between 16°C to 25°C. They can tolerate a bit cooler or warmer temperatures briefly, but avoid sudden temperature drops or cold drafts which can stress the plant.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
Being tropical plants, they love high humidity. Aim for 60% or higher which can be achieved by misting the plant regularly, using a humidity tray, or placing a humidifier nearby.
🪴 Repotting
Philodendron Paraiso Verde should be repotted every 2-3 years or when you see roots coming out of the drainage holes. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally with added perlite or coarse sand to ensure good drainage. When repotting, consider adding a moss pole to support its climbing nature.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
Be cautious as Philodendrons are toxic to pets if ingested. Keep this plant out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
✅🪴 Recommended Locations at Home
This Philodendron makes a stunning addition to spaces like living rooms, studies, or any area with filtered light. Avoid placing it in full sun or very dark corners.
