70 - 90cm Philodendron Splendid on mosspole 16cm Pot House Plant

Philodendron Splendid is a tropical plant known for its large, velvety, heart-shaped leaves. Growing the plant on a moss pole can help to support its vining growth and promote fuller foliage. Here are some general care tips for keeping your Philodendron Splendid on a moss pole healthy:

1. Light: Philodendron Splendid plants prefer bright, indirect light. Place your plant near a window that receives plenty of sunlight, but avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves.

2. Watering: Water your Philodendron Splendid on a moss pole when the top inch of soil is dry. Water the plant until water starts to come out of the bottom of the pot. During the winter months, the plant will require less water.

3. Soil: Plant your Philodendron Splendid in well-draining soil, such as a mix of potting soil and perlite or sand. The soil should be moist but not waterlogged.

4. Moss pole: A moss pole can help to support the vining growth of Philodendron Splendid plants. To create a moss pole, wrap a PVC pipe or wooden stake with sphagnum moss, then secure the moss in place with wire or string. You can train the plant to grow up the moss pole by tying the stems to the pole with garden wire or string.

5. Temperature: Philodendron Splendid plants prefer warm temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C). Protect your plant from extreme temperatures, such as frost or heat waves.

6. Humidity: Philodendron Splendid plants prefer moderate to high humidity. You can increase humidity by placing a humidifier near the plant, or by placing a tray of water near the plant.

7. Fertilizer: Fertilize your Philodendron Splendid plant every 2-3 months with a balanced fertilizer. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates.

8. Pruning: Philodendron Splendid plants benefit from occasional pruning to maintain their shape and size. Trim back new growth to encourage branching and fuller foliage.

With proper care and support from a moss pole, your Philodendron Splendid should thrive and grow into a beautiful, healthy plant.
