Philodendron McDowell Care Guide
The Philodendron McDowell is a unique and rare plant that is perfect for any houseplant enthusiast. This plant is known for its stunningly large leaves and its ability to grow in low light conditions.
Light: The Philodendron McDowell prefers low to medium light conditions. It can also tolerate bright, indirect light but avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves.
Water: Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it is best to err on the side of underwatering. The Philodendron McDowell also appreciates high humidity levels, so you may want to consider a humidifier or misting the leaves.
Soil: The Philodendron McDowell prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Our hand mixed Thicc + Chonky Premium Aroid Potting Mix to help your new houseplant thrive for years to come
