Blushing Philodendron

Blushing Philodendron Philodendron erubescens

What is the plant

Philodendrons are some of the most exotic and beautiful plants in the tropical world. There are about 400 species of philodendron worldwide, including the Philodendron erubescens, which is native to the Costa Rica and rainforests in South America

In its native environment, the plant has been known to reach heights of 60 feet and sometimes converts to fully epiphytic growth if its connection with the ground is severed. As a houseplant, however, it's likely that your plant will remain less than 12 feet in height, and it's easy to grow.

Soil
Well-drained.
Pruning
By removing overgrown foliage, you will improve airflow to the plant, and light will be better able to penetrate all portions of the plant. This actually leads to a fuller and healthier-looking houseplant.
Temperature
The ideal temperature for a philodendron is between 65 – 78°F during the day, and around 60°F at night.
Container
Ceramic pots are the most popular type of containers for houseplants today. You'll find them in all kinds of styles, colors, and sizes. At one time, the clay pot was the most common container for indoor plants. When choosing a pot, choose a pot that is 2.5-5 cm (1-2”) larger than the current size.
Additional
