Philodendron Peru Care

If the soil is still moist, though, you don't do anything for another day or two. As a general rule, expect to lightly water it every couple of days or so. You shouldn't be watering it any more than twice a week, though.

With pruning, you can control a split-leaf philodendron growth and enjoy it in a shady area of your landscape.

Fertilized once a month during the months of spring and summer with a mild fertilizer in low quantity.

Medium indirect light, some shade is tolerated.

If you're wanting to make your own, then you should consider mixing compost, mulch, perlite, sand, vermiculite, or even a bit of shredded bark and peat moss and you should be good to go. You also want to aim for a neutral soil pH, something that sits between say 5 to 7 ½ pH.

55-80°F (13-27°C)

The Philodendron Fibraecataphyllum 'Peru' is a rare member of the Philodendron family. You can recognize this unique beauty by her rubbery, leather-like, puckered leaves. The leaves start out as medium green, but shift to a deeper green colour as she matures. The deep, lacy vines give the leaves a stunning texture.
