Philodendron Squamiferum is a unique and interesting plant with long, trailing stems covered in soft red bristles that resemble animal fur. Here are some care tips for this plant:

  1. Light: Philodendron Squamiferum prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some morning sun but avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

  2. Water: Water your plant thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Make sure to avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. It's also a good idea to avoid letting the plant sit in standing water.

  3. Humidity: This plant prefers higher humidity levels, so you may want to consider using a humidifier or placing a tray of water near the plant to increase the moisture in the air.

  4. Temperature: Philodendron Squamiferum prefers warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 55°F (13°C).

  5. Soil: This plant prefers well-draining soil that retains moisture. You can use a mix of potting soil, peat moss, and perlite to create a suitable growing medium.

  6. Fertilizer: You can feed your Philodendron Squamiferum with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).

  7. Pruning: You can trim back your Philodendron Squamiferum to control its size and encourage fuller growth. You can also remove any dead or yellowing leaves to improve the plant's appearance.

Overall, Philodendron Squamiferum is a relatively low-maintenance plant that can add a unique touch to your indoor garden.
