45 - 55cm Philodendron Rugosum Pig Skin House Plant 17cm Pot
Philodendron Rugosum 'Pig Skin' is a unique and rare plant that requires specific care to thrive. Here are some tips for its care:
-
Light: Philodendron Rugosum 'Pig Skin' prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, so avoid placing it in a spot that receives direct sunlight.
-
Water: Water your plant thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again.
-
Humidity: Philodendron Rugosum 'Pig Skin' prefers high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier near the plant, or by placing a tray of water near the plant to increase the moisture in the air.
-
Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures between 60-85°F (16-29°C). Avoid placing it in areas that experience extreme temperatures or drafts.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix that retains moisture, but doesn't hold water. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and pine bark is a good option.
-
Fertilizer: Feed your Philodendron Rugosum 'Pig Skin' with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer) to promote healthy growth.
-
Repotting: As your plant grows, you may need to repot it into a larger container. This is typically done every 1-2 years.
-
Pruning: You can prune your Philodendron Rugosum 'Pig Skin' to control its size and shape. Pinch back the tips of the plant to encourage bushier growth, or remove any yellow or damaged leaves to promote new growth.
