How to Care for the Plant

Water
A philippine evergreen can tolerate less water than most other houseplants. Water a plant when a top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. When watering, water a plant moderately and slowly from above, allowing water to soak through to a roots, then tip out any excess water. Reduce watering during a cold season.
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.
Fertilizer
Use slow-release fertilizer for container plants. Avoid using too much fertilizer.
