Philodendron Bob Cee

This philodendron prefers bright, indirect light to encourage strong growth and defined leaf serration. It can tolerate medium light but will grow more slowly. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which may scorch the leaves, as well as low light, which can cause legginess and reduce leaf size.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry, ensuring excess water drains away completely. During spring and summer, when the plant is actively growing, you may need to water more frequently. In fall and winter, reduce watering slightly as growth slows. Consistent moisture and humidity help maintain lush, healthy foliage.

Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in warm conditions (65–85°F / 18–29°C) with high humidity. Place near a humidifier or mist occasionally to keep humidity levels up. Potting Medium: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and peat is ideal for strong root development. Fertilizing: Feed every 2–4 weeks in the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Pause feeding in winter. Support: Provide a moss pole or sturdy support to encourage climbing and larger, more mature leaf development. Maintenance: Prune as needed to shape and encourage bushier growth. Wipe leaves to keep them dust-free for maximum photosynthesis.
