Philodendron McDowell Care Guide:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Ensure that the potting mix drains well to avoid waterlogged roots.
- Soil: Use a well-draining, moisture-retentive soil mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and orchid bark.
- Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; use a humidifier or mist regularly to maintain optimal humidity.
- Temperature: Ideal temperature range is 65–80°F (18–27°C).
- Fertilizer: Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
