Product Description
The Philodendron Scandens comes originally from the jungles of South America. There it spreads across the ground until it meets a tree, then carries on climbing upwards. Did you know the name Philodendron comes from two Greek words? Philo (love) and dendron (tree), so it's a real tree of love.
Care & tips for the Philodendron Scandens - 170cm
The Philodendron is easy to care for. This special houseplant enjoys being misted now and then, because its tropical background means it likes a slightly humid spot. Misting also removes dust from the plant so it can breathe better, which in turn helps prevent pests and other diseases.
How much water does the Philodendron Scandens - 170cm need?
Water the Philodendron Scandens once every 4 to 5 days. We do recommend feeling the soil before you water, because this houseplant likes a moist base but really mustn't stay wet for long. So see how it goes at first: if the soil still feels damp after 6 to 7 days, give it a little less next time. Soil that's too wet doesn't do it any good and can cause root rot.
How much light does the Philodendron Scandens - 170cm need?
You can happily put the Philodendron Scandens somewhere with a bit more shade, so it's ideal for a darker corner of your home. A spot in full sun won't make this houseplant very happy. Have a look at what works best for your plant, because it does need enough daylight to stay healthy.
Is the Philodendron Scandens - 170cm toxic?
The Philodendron Scandens is mildly toxic if eaten, so make sure small children and pets can't easily reach this houseplant.
