How to Care for the Plant

Water
Philodendron's are easy to grow plants that perform best when grown in a well draining potting mix like our aroid potting mix. Water your Philodendron Golden Dragon when the top 3cm of soil are dry and group with other plants to raise the humidity around it.
Pruning
Care must be taken that the dried up dead leaves should be cut from their particular branches without damaging the stem or branches of other leaves. Cutting down of the branches of fresh leaves will dry up the leaves too and stunt the growth of fresh new growth.
Fertilizer
The fertilizer must be given to the plant thrice annually, and the general-purpose fertilizer works well in this regard. It might be fed with balanced liquid foliage houseplant fertilizer that contains macro-nutrients. Fertilizer must be used 6 inches away from the base. If not done right, the plant grows very slowly, and it might not even grow as tall as it should. Low quality and cheap fertilizers must not be used for these plants as the heavy salts in such fertilizers will damage the roots, and it will ultimately lead to the death of the plant.
